2nd Annual Care Continuum Implementation and Cost Benefit of Workplace Weight Management Strategies

The "Implementation and Cost Benefit of Workplace Weight Management Strategies" directs senior executive employers, health plans, providers and government stakeholders in analyzing which weight loss options are best for their organization for maximum benefit and cost. Past keynotes have focused on the cost benefit of weight loss programs, behavioral health approaches, pharma drugs and bariatric surgery. Attendees can decide which options would have the most impact on their organization and are given the tools for implementation.
