Bariatric surgeon support

Market development for bariatric surgery programs

Luminary sites program expansion 

We offer exclusive luminary sites at top hospitals where surgeons can participate in invite-only discussions about program development to improve access to care for designated populations. Luminary site programs cover critical and relevant topics including:

  • Integrating GLP1 pharma treatment into surgical practice

  • Ambulatory and outpatient surgery care for special populations

Obesity and diabesity therapy awareness programs

Our therapy awareness programs aim to educate healthcare professionals about the nature of the disease, treatment options, and treatment escalation. It is also important to provide context on the social stigma of obesity which creates opportunities and challenges in discussing the disease and treatment options with patients.

Our diabesity program looks to educate healthcare professionals about how to help patients with type 2 diabetes and potentially reverse the trend. We do this through a multi-disciplinary approach that brings together the right support at every point in a patient’s weight-loss journey.
