About us:
Form (https://www.formhealth.co)is a telemedicine weight loss clinic specialized in helping patients with obesity lose weight and lead healthier lives. Obesity impacts more than 40% of the US adult population, but only about 1% of patients receive medical treatment for their disease. The field of Obesity Medicine is entering a period of rapid growth that will see treatment rates surge. Today, Form Health can harness this growth to drive patient impact nationwide. We do this by making research-based treatment available to patients through the convenience of telehealth, including long-term care from a specialized physician and dietitian and FDA-approved medication when appropriate. We hold ourselves to the highest standards of clinical care, and to treating every individual with empathy and respect.
