PEIA WEIGHT MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

This program is designed to help you lose weight and improve your health. As an exclusive provider, the Camden Clark Health and Wellness Center will provide participants with a comprehensive weight management plan suited to their unique and individual needs. You will receive the services of a dietitian, an exercise physiologist and personal trainers while gaining access to a fitness facility meeting PEIA’s quality criteria.

Why is PEIA Offering this Benefit?

Program participants experience improved physical and psychological wellbeing. Although we do not expect the program will solely reverse the epidemic of obesity in West Virginia, it does offer the necessary supports for those people who are committed to making a personal lifestyle change.
