MOVE! Weight Management Program

MOVE! Weight Management Program in Petersburg, AK is dedicated to enhancing the health and well-being of Veterans through effective weight management and health promotion initiatives. Our mission is to empower every Veteran receiving care at VA facilities by annually screening for obesity and providing tailored referrals to diverse weight management services that meet individual needs and preferences. We offer a comprehensive range of options, including group sessions, telephone lifestyle coaching, and the innovative TeleMOVE! program, which provides in-home messaging and clinician contact. Additionally, Veterans can utilize the MOVE! Coach mobile app for self-directed weight management. For those facing persistent challenges with weight, we also provide access to weight loss medications and bariatric surgery, ensuring a holistic approach to health. If you or someone you know is interested in participating in MOVE!, please reach out to your local MOVE! Coordinator or VA provider to get started on the path to better health.
