Dr. Michelle Gourdine, SVP, Chief Medical Officer, CVS Caremark, highlights how members can achieve their weight-loss goals and adopt a healthy lifestyle with the CVS Weight Management program.
• 31% percent of adults in the U.S. are overweight and more than 40% are obese, which increases stress on the heart and joints, leading to heart disease, stroke, arthritis and additional health issues, Dr. Gourdine says.
• Obesity is a chronic medical condition that requires care, and there are a variety of types of support, including nutrition, physical activity, behavior modification and medical interventions.
• The CVS Weight Management program takes a team-based approach and empowers CVS Caremark members to develop sustainable habits to achieve long-term weight loss. The data is remarkable, Dr. Gourdine says. For instance, GLP-1 users experienced an average weight loss of 16% after one year in the program.
