Don’t Wait for Weight to Weigh on Your Health
January 6, 2025
In a Forbes Health/OnePoll survey conducted about a year ago, four of the top five 2024 New Year’s resolutions focused on personal health. Toss out “improved finances,” and the remaining most popular aspirations were “improved fitness,” “improved mental health,” “lose weight” and “improved diet.”
St. Francis-Emory Healthcare knows improved health is very important to so many in our communities. We are also cognizant of the fact that February is typically where New Year’s resolutions go to die.
Wouldn’t it be awesome if there was a local, healthcare partner who could help you set and achieve reasonable goals, starting with your physical health and zeroing in on weight loss and related targets of improved fitness and diet?
That’s why we’re here.
St. Francis-Emory Healthcare can help you set and achieve your goals pertaining to weight loss and better health. To get started, we invite you to take our weight-related health-risk assessment to help determine your current level of risk. This online questionnaire takes less than five minutes to complete. Your results will be available immediately.
Healthy Weight Risk Assessment
If the results aren’t where you want them to be, here is some consolation – the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimate that more than 70% of Americans are overweight, and more than 40% of adults are considered obese. You’ve got a whole new year ahead of you to work on a better, healthier you, and we have members on our team with the expertise and desire to help you along your journey.
A simple truth in medicine is that the closer you are to a healthy weight, the further you can get from serious weight-related health concerns such as heart disease, diabetes, some cancers, and more. That New Year’s resolution about weight loss/fitness/diet – and your dogged pursuit of healthier habits (beyond February) – can ultimately add years to your life.
