The landscape of obesity care delivery is evolving, driven by surging demand for medical weight loss services, demographic shifts, and new competitors that are changing consumer expectations for convenient and lower-cost care.

It explores how providers are recalibrating obesity programs to meet high patient demand for medical weight loss services over bariatric surgery, the disruptive impact of virtual-first obesity care providers, and how providers are using automated systems to navigate payer drug cost management policies.
