When it comes to weight loss, you have choices
For those seeking an alternative to weight-loss surgery, MultiCare offers a nonsurgical medical weight-loss program. It is designed specifically for individuals struggling with weight and weight-related chronic conditions. Our multidisciplinary team works with you to create a personalized plan aimed at helping you live a healthier, more joyful life.

- Body composition (body fat percentage)
- Coping skills
- Emotional eating
- Stress eating
- Food and meal preparation
- Gut health
- Physical activity
- Sleep health

- Cardiovascular disease and high cholesterol
- Diabetes and insulin resistance
- Digestive problems
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
- Gout
- Fatty liver
- Food sensitivities and allergies
- Hypertension
- Joint disease and arthritis

How we help
While many medical weight-loss programs focus on prescriptions and over-the-counter medications, MultiCare’s program offers education and support, empowering you to make substantial, lasting changes in your life. We begin with a thorough assessment to identify your key weight-gain factors and then create a custom treatment plan based on the assessment results, your individual health status and goals. We provide:
- Research-based services that do not rely on packaged products
- Medical oversight and regular appointments with a board-certified bariatrician
- Nutrition counseling with registered dietitians
- One-on-one support from a dedicated nutrition therapist throughout the program
- Strategies to sustain lifestyle modifications and to address metabolic conditions (disorders that affect how the body uses food and produces energy)
- Simplified access to other medical and supportive resources as necessary
- Behavioral health counseling with licensed mental health providers
- Ongoing access to our support group community
