Weight Management
EPIC Health Weight Management is building a weight management program designed to support patients seeking medically supervised treatment as part of a broader wellness plan. Our approach centers on individualized care and provider review, rather than focusing on a single number on the scale. Treatment decisions are made based on each patient’s health history, goals, and eligibility as determined by a licensed clinician.
Why Weight Management Matters
Excess weight can impact energy levels, daily functioning, and overall well-being. At EPIC Health, we focus on helping patients take informed steps toward improved health through personalized care plans, ongoing support, and access to provider-guided treatment options when appropriate.
Medication Offerings
EPIC Health may offer access to the following compounded weight management medications when prescribed by a licensed provider:
- Semaglutide
- Tirzepatide
Medication selection, dosing, and duration are determined by a licensed healthcare provider based on individual patient needs and medical review.
How It Will Work
After EPIC Health’s telehealth onboarding process is complete, patients will:
- Complete a medical intake form
- Have their information reviewed by a licensed provider during consultation
- Receive guidance on next steps if treatment is deemed appropriate
Prescriptions, when issued, are coordinated through EPIC Health’s pharmacy partner.
