The Obesity Disease State Management Program is available to all PHCP members who possess a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or greater.  BMI is a measure of your weight in relation to your height.   To calculate BMI, divide your weight (in pounds) by the square of your height (in inches) and then multiply by 703.   “Obese” is indicated by a BMI of 30 or greater.  As a participant in the program, you will receive monthly calls by our Registered Nurse Case Manager to offer support and guidance as you work toward your weight loss goals. 

In addition, participants in our Obesity Disease State Management Program may take advantage of the following benefits:

- Reimbursed membership in the Center for Fitness and Health including monthly fitness training and nutritionist consults;
- The Dr. Dean Ornish Program; and
- “Choose to Loose” classes at Monongahela Valley Hospital.
