Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight looks different for everyone, which is why Holy Name offers monthly weight management seminars designed to meet people where they are on their journey.
Led by experienced clinicians, these free educational sessions explore medical, surgical, and lifestyle-based approaches to weight loss, helping participants better understand their options and take confident next steps toward improved health.
“Our goal is to provide patients with evidence-based guidance, compassion, and long-term support — not quick fixes,” said Dr. Melanie Howell, general surgeon at Holy Name who specializes in bariatric and minimally invasive surgery. “When patients feel informed and supported, they’re empowered to make changes that truly last.”
Dr. Howell recently became a Diplomate of the American Board of Obesity Medicine (ABOM). She is now double-boarded by the American Board of Surgery and the ABOM, a rare and impressive distinction that reflects her advanced expertise in treating obesity as a complex, chronic disease, making her the go-to expert for all things weight loss.
Dr. Howell's expanded credentials further strengthen Holy Name’s comprehensive weight management and bariatric programs, bringing even greater expertise, innovation, and personalized care to the community.
