Kroger Health’s The Little Clinic LLC is announcing a renewed approach to its weight management program, offering a holistic and personalized approach to professional medical support and education. When medically appropriate, patients will be able to explore medical treatment, including GLP-1s such as Wegovy, Zepabound and others as part of their weight loss journey. Starting at $99 per visit, the program is available in-person and via telehealth and The Little Clinic accepts insurance plans to help cover the program’s costs. Today, the program is available to patients in all states where The Little Clinic operates, Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Ohio, Tennessee and Virginia.
The newly relaunched weight management program offers comprehensive, personalized and evidence-based options. Its patient-centered offerings include:
- Resources on fresh and healthy foods
- Ongoing medical visits from a board-certified clinical provider
- Routine coaching
- Community support information
- If appropriate, the inclusion of prescribed, FDA approved medical treatments, including GLP-1s
The new weight management program also places emphasis on Kroger Health’s Food as Medicine philosophy, which focuses on food playing a key role in preventing illness and ongoing health maintenance. By incorporating Food as Medicine into a weight management program, patients have the resources they need to explore how specific foods can assist in starting and maintaining weight loss.
