Medical weight loss

The decision to lose the excess weight is a commitment to your own best life. Even modest weight loss can improve your physical health, energy levels, mobility and self-confidence.

But, weight loss is not easy. When you need strong guidance, accountability and clinical support — and surgery is not the right option for you —Endeavor Health® Weight Management at Edward-Elmhurst Health offers medically-supervised programs to help you lose the weight and keep it off.
