Controlling obesity in our community

Obesity has immediate and long-term effects on our health and well-being. Unfortunately, it is a growing problem nationwide. Childhood obesity has more than tripled in the past 30 years and at least half of the adults in every county in Wisconsin are either overweight or obese.

At Watertown Regional Medical Center, we’re taking proactive steps to stop obesity in our community and promote a healthier diet and regular exercise plan. Whenever possible, we offer educational programs and screenings in our local schools and area businesses to raise awareness of obesity and encourage positive lifestyle changes.

Within our own facility, we have a number of initiatives in place to help our patients, guests, and employees achieve their weight goals and inspire a healthier lifestyle. Our dietary experts have developed delicious and nutritious new menus and meal options. We’re also planning a variety of educational awareness programs and incentives.

Together, we can fight obesity and stay healthy
