Lifestyle Improvements for Medically At-Risk Adults
The goal of the SCALE® program is to assist patients in achieving sustained weight loss through personal coaching, group support, health education, regular exercise, and more. Since it was initiated in 2014, it has helped dozens of WV Health Right patients achieve significant and lasting health status improvement.
“When I got laid off, my eating habits were horrible. I gained 100 pounds in no time. Through the SCALE program, I’ve learned the importance of tailoring my food intake to my physical activity output as well as the importance of eating nutritious food. SCALE has been a lifesaver for me.”
