Weight Loss Programs by ELVPHD
Reducing obesity rates in our district is one of our top priorities. Data shows that 39.4% of ELVPHD service area residents are obese and this has traditionally been higher than the national average. In addition to healthy weight statistics, 71% of our residents also reported eating less than the recommended servings of fruit, 11.5% reported eating no vegetables on an average day and 72% did not exercise for at least 20-30 minutes more than 3 times per week.
To help people in our health district choose to adopt a healthier lifestyle, we have two programs which we invite you to be a part of - SCALE DOWN Weight Loss and Your Path to Wellness (health coaching)! Please see below for details and how to get started!
Scale Down Weight Loss Program: This program includes 22 sessions over the course of 1 year and is based upon the National Diabetes Prevention Program. Making lifelong, sustainable healthy lifestyle changes is the goal of the program. We offer the SCALE DOWN program twice a year either virtually or in-person.
