Weigh No More
WNM provides employees with a long-term solution to weight-related concerns, by providing education, skills training and a behavioral approach to achieving a healthy weight. WNM is not a diet, but provides participants with a positive and encouraging environment. Recognizing that participants have different needs, their educator will work individually with each employee through coaching and email communication. Educator/Facilitators are registered dietitians. This program has been provided both on-site at Saint Joseph Health Center and to corporate clients, including the Sprint Headquarters.
