HealthEast Bariatric Care has been designated as a Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence by the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS).

About Bariatric Care

We offer expert care and compassionate support to people considering weight loss surgery. Our comprehensive program helps patients achieve and maintain a healthier life. Our goal is to make every encounter with HealthEast Bariatric Care exceed the patient’s expectations.

Obesity is a deadly disease that absolutely has to be treated. It is not a personal weakness or a character flaw. There is help and hope for people with obesity. After surgery, most bariatric patients achieve better health and a new outlook for a better future.

According to the National Institutes of Health, surgical treatment is the only proven method of consistently achieving long-term weight control for people with clinically severe, or morbid, obesity. People who suffer from this form of obesity are generally 100 pounds or more above their ideal weight and often encounter serious — or life-threatening — health problems.

HealthEast Bariatric Care is located in the Gallery Towers next to St. Joseph's Hospital.
