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.

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.
