About the GLP-1 Weight Management Program
The GLP-1 Weight Management Program, powered by eMed, is designed to provide colleagues with access to FDA-approved weight-loss medications, supported by expert guidance and cutting-edge technology.
The program emphasizes sustainable weight management through personalized support, consistent progress tracking, and convenient resources to enhance medication adherence and overall health outcomes.
As part of the GLP-1 Weight Management Program, colleagues are required to maintain a check-in attendance completion rate of 75% per three months.

How it Works

Eligibility with At-Home Screening Kit

The program begins by completing a Health Profile with the GLP-1 Weight Management Program Screening Kit™. The Health Profile is a live virtual proctored, at-home screening that captures medical information and a blood sample.

Weekly Check-ins with Live Support

Each week you will have a check-in with a Live Virtual Proctor, which includes a weigh-in and medication verification. Check-ins occur on your selected injection day, with reminders sent to keep you on track. It takes less than 60 seconds - just bring your scale and medication.

Manage Your Side Effects

A dedicated portal enables you to report side effects and receive support. You can also report side effects during weekly check-ins. This feature ensures that you remain on track while addressing potential concerns effectively.

Monthly Medication Refills

Every third check-in includes a brief questionnaire. Completing check-ins allow clinicians to manage your medication dosage for effective, sustainable weight loss. Doses typically increase every four weeks until you reach your maintenance dose.

Seamless Communication

The portal serves as a hub for important clinician messages, ensuring you remain informed throughout your journey. Most communications and reminders are sent through SMS and email, we recommend you opt-in to receive them.

Personal Dashboard

The program provides you with a comprehensive dashboard to track health improvements, weight loss, and adherence metrics. This centralized resource supports ongoing monitoring and engagement.
