Prepare for Your Weight Loss Journey to Begin!
If you've struggled with obesity and traditional weight loss solutions, you're far from alone. Typical diet and exercise is simply not an effective long-term weight loss solution for some people. More than 1 in 20 Americans over the age of 20 are at increased risk for weight-related illnesses such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease and stroke. These conditions keep them from living the happy and active lifestyle they deserve.
Nashoba Valley Medical Center is dedicated to helping patients in the Nashoba Valley in their weight loss journey. Our acute care facility recently earned the nationally recognized ‘A’ Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grade and the 2021 Patient Safety Excellence Award.
