Summary

This study will offer shared medical appointments (group visits) for obesity treatment to over 140,000 patients across 56 Cleveland Clinic primary care practices. About 3,600 adults aged 20-75 with a BMI of 30 or higher will take part. The goal is to see if offering these group visits as part of routine care helps patients lose weight and improve health.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: shared medical appointments (group visits for lifestyle treatment)
What this could lead to: If successful, this could make group-based weight-loss programs widely available in primary care, helping many patients lose weight and improve heart health.
What could go wrong: This is an implementation study, not a test of a new drug or procedure. Weight loss results may vary, and the program may not work equally well for everyone.
