MOVE! Weight Management Program

MOVE! Weight Management Program in Monroe, LA, is dedicated to enhancing the health and well-being of Veterans through personalized weight management and health promotion services. Our mission focuses on annually screening every Veteran who comes to VA facilities for obesity, offering tailored referrals to weight management services and various treatment options that align with their unique needs and preferences. Participants can access a variety of support avenues, including group sessions, convenient telephone lifestyle coaching, and TeleMOVE! for in-home guidance and communication with clinicians. For those who prefer a self-directed approach, the MOVE! Coach mobile app is available, alongside medical support that includes weight loss medications and bariatric surgery options for individuals who continue to face challenges despite previous efforts in the program. Services may vary by location, so Veterans interested in joining MOVE! are encouraged to consult their local MOVE! Coordinator or VA provider for assistance in beginning their journey towards better health.
