The Doctors’ Weight Management Program at Sansum Clinic Celebrates 25 years of Success
On Wednesday, October 12, 2011 The Doctors’ Weight Management Program at Sansum Clinic celebrated their 25th Anniversary of helping thousands in our community achieve their individual weight loss success and improve their overall health with an Open House Event at 51 Hitchcock Way in Santa Barbara. More than 150 guests included patients, former patients, supporters, and many new faces that had come to learn about the program and to share their experiences, gain inspiration, and ask questions of medical professionals, trained educators and successful patients.
The Doctors' Weight Management Program uses HMR meal replacements and entrees. HMR is the leading provider of medically-based weight management programs in clinics, hospitals and major medical centers throughout the country. We are recognized by HMR as a Gold Standard Program, achieving the highest compliance and success of all HMR programs.
