In partnership with Ethicon Endo-Surgery, the National Business Coalition on Health (NBCH) is pleased to offer the following webinar open to coalitions, employers, or any stakeholder interested in learning more about the obesity epidemic and particularly, the continuum of treatment options. Employers are making great strides in creating healthier worksites and supporting wellness initiatives, and for many, prevention is a powerfully effective tool. However, for the one-third of U.S. adults who are obese (BMI over 30), other treatment options are often necessary, and for appropriate candidates, bariatric surgery has proven to be one of the most effective and long lasting treatments for morbid obesity and the resolution of comorbidities such as type 2 diabetes and hypertension.
Featuring...
- Dr. Christopher Still, Gastroenterologist, Geisinger Health System—to outline the care continuum of obesity and appropriate treatment options
- John Dawson, Senior Vice President and Actuary, Human Capital Practice, Willis Group—to discuss the economics of treating morbid obesity with bariatric surgery
- Caryol Hendricks, Executive Director, Employers’ Health Coalition—to tell her personal story of successfully undergoing bariatric surgery
