Lose the Weight. Gain the Health

Pro Medical believes that successful weight management requires more than just willpower. That’s why we’ve partnered with Health Management Resources, HMR. The HMR weight loss program focuses on teaching new lifestyle skills for decreasing calories, increasing physical activity and eating more fruits and vegetables.

• Medically supervised and non-medically supervised diet options
• Nutritionally complete meal replacements
• In-depth lifestyle education, personalized attention and intensive follow-up
• Long-term maintenance program

                  Weight Management = Health Management

We recognize first and foremost that a weight problem is a health problem. That's why the HMR Program is offered exclusively through hospitals and other healthcare facilities. We also realize how hard it is to lose and maintain weight in today's "high fat, high calorie" culture. That's why we approach the task of weight loss with a commitment that goes well beyond "traditional" dieting.
Improving health is an important goal of weight loss. The lifestyle skills you'll learn in weekly classes are the same skills that can improve your health and reduce your risks for chronic diseases. HMR patients can experience dramatic improvements in their overall health as a result of participating in the program and learning how to make sensible changes in diet and lifestyle.

                   Unlike Any Other Weight Loss Program

We approach the task of health and weight management with a commitment and a passion that goes well beyond other programs. Our multidisciplinary staff has specialized training in behavior modification, nutrition and exercise science. This team includes physicians, nurse practitioners, nurses, dieticians, exercise specialists, and health educators.
Here are just few other ways we’re different:

• The amount of weight loss possible
• The level of personal attention
• The depth of lifestyle education
• Individual goal-setting sessions with a health educator and an exercise physiologist
• Weekly educational classes focused on healthy eating strategies, exercise planning, stress management skills, lifestyle change strategies and dealing with eating and emotions
• Weekly progress checks by of staff who will evaluate and guide your progress

Link to HMR Research

If All Above does not convince you that HMR is your best chose for weight loss then consider that HMR is one of the few weight loss programs that have the scientific results to show that it works. HMR’s medical research, weight loss, and weight maintenance data have been published in many peer-reviewed medical journals including the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, American Journal of Gastroenterology, American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Journal of the American College of Nutrition, New England Journal of Medicine, Journal of the American Medical Association, and Diabetes Care.

More than 60 references and studies show that dieters using meal replacements (portion and calorie-controlled meals), lose and keep off substantially more weight than those using a “standard” diet.
