Empowering Wellness through Innovation
In an enlightening episode of the “Slice of Healthcare” podcast, host Jared S. Taylor sits down with Dr. Angela Fitch, the innovative force behind knownwell. Dr. Fitch, with her extensive background in both internal medicine and obesity care, has led knownwell on a mission to merge primary and obesity care. Consequently, offering a new hope for the overwhelming 70% of Americans struggling with weight issues.
A Personalized Health Journey
Moreover, knownwell distinguishes itself by providing care that perceives obesity not merely as a weight issue but as a comprehensive health challenge. Significantly, this innovative clinic blends obesity treatment with primary care, mirroring Dr. Fitch’s staunch belief in treating obesity as a chronic, biological condition, and not as a mere result of lifestyle choices.
Virtual Care and Beyond
Furthermore, the podcast shines a light on the clinic’s flexible approach, combining virtual and in-person care. This versatile strategy not only enhances healthcare accessibility but also tailors the treatment experience to each individual, emphasizing the critical role of a supportive care team that’s accessible regardless of geographical constraints.
The Path Forward
Additionally, looking towards the future, knownwell aims to broaden its impact, planning to inaugurate clinics nationwide. This expansion signifies a part of a larger crusade, championed by Dr. Fitch and the Obesity Medicine Association, to transform obesity care. They advocate for patient access to effective treatments and challenge the societal stigma surrounding weight.
