MOVE! Weight Management Program

Located in Kankakee, IL, the MOVE! Weight Management Program is dedicated to enhancing the health and well-being of Veterans through comprehensive weight management and health promotion services. With a commitment to annually screening every Veteran who receives care at VA facilities for obesity, MOVE! empowers individuals by referring them to tailored weight management options that align with their unique needs and preferences. Participants can choose from various care methods, including supportive group sessions, telephone lifestyle coaching, and TeleMOVE! for convenient in-home messaging with clinicians. The MOVE! Coach mobile app is also available for those who prefer a self-directed approach to weight management, while Veterans facing ongoing challenges may explore options for weight loss medications and bariatric surgery. To join this transformative program, Veterans can connect with their local MOVE! Coordinator or VA provider, ensuring they embark on a journey towards a healthier lifestyle.
