Patient Profile 1: Stephanie Hethcote, Blount County

Program: Winning at Weight Loss
Health benefits beyond weight loss: Improved mobility and overall health, decreased knee pain and reduced thyroid medication

Stephanie Hethcote calls herself a "habitual dieter. After trying and failing to get the desired results from numerous diet plans, she decided to try the Weight Management Center's Winning at Weight Loss program to receive expert direction and support. The program's emphasis on daily physical activity provided the boost Hethcote needed to get moving, as well as the confidence to participate in group exercise classes at the Wellness Center at Springbrook. "I couldn't be happier with the results," she says. "I am much healthier, and I am losing weight in a safe, healthy way that I can maintain over the long-term."
