Revolutionizing Obesity Team Medicine Through Engagement
Services
Obesity PPM drives population health for organizations that treat or enable treatment
for the population with obesity and related metabolic diseases.
Powered Care Managementâ„ through Patient Engagement
Obesity is a chronic disease, and a patient's weight loss journey is life-long. Evidence shows that consistently and pro-actively reaching out to this population through individualized care plans and high-touch communications, we can motivate, educate, and empower bariatric patients to manage their own long-term health.

​
Engagement serves as the core of all of our program solutions. Operating under your identity and leveraging our sophisticated health IT systems, our consultants expertly navigate your patients with obesity through their unique, lifelong treatment journeys — activating patients, enhancing experience, and improving outcomes.
Managed Ecosystemâ„ for Integrated Obesity Treatment
In collaboration with strategic, hospital system partners, we design, execute, and administer the Managed Ecosystemâ„ for Integrated Obesity Treatment -- a chronic disease mangement model is patient-centered, individualized, and multi-disciplinary.
Uniquely, we operate as an obesity disease management company, working with bariatric surgery and obesity medicine programs.
​
Unlike current treatment models, the Managed Ecosystemâ„ delivers care coordination through a number of specialty providers who all treat obesity and its related metabolic diseases (i.e., obesity medicine specialists, metabolic surgeons, endocrinologists, dietetians, behavioral medicine specialists, gastroenterologists, primary care physicians).
​
Integrating business and clinical processes, as well as coordinating contracting requirements, Obesity PPM provides the leadership and infrastructure to address the lifetime progression of this chronic disease among patients.
Custom Programs
Obesity PPM provides custom consulting services that address all dimensions of our etiological framework for obesity – The 12 Pillars® Model.
The Twelve Pillars® Model is a framework for obesity that defines and describes the complex interchange of shifting factors impacting individuals and populations.
Through this lens, we seek to clearly define challenges and provide service solutions in the obesity treatment space.
​
With broad levels of obesity expertise among Our Leadership Team, we are able to design, execute, and administer service solutions in each area represented by this model.
