This program is intended for any adult individual who has health concerns because of their weight.  Family physicians will determine if individuals meet the requirements to participate in the Program. 

• Individuals have access to a year long clinical program that is monitored by a physician and uses a low calorie meal replacement called Optifast 900 for the first 12 weeks.
• Individuals also take part in weekly 3 hour sessions for 16 weeks followed by monthly group sessions. The Program provides access to a team of health care professionals who work together with the physician lead.

Referrals to the program are made through a family physician.

Announcing the September launching of Edmonton’s Weight Wise modules as a key component of PCN’s Adult Weight Management (AWM) program! 

All currently existing Adult Weight Management (AWM) education classes offered at the PCN central site will be replaced with the nine Weight Wise modules developed by the Weight Wise Adult Community Team in Edmonton that are gradually being implemented within PCNs across the province. In addition to these Weight Wise modules, we will continue to offer patients individual appointments with the PCN team and the Optifast 900 program. Please see links below for a list of module topics and scheduling for Weight Wise and specific information and handouts for Optifast 900 program.
