Whether you want to lose 25, 50, 100 or more pounds, the new Covenant Weight Management Center can help you achieve and maintain your optimal weight.
The Covenant Weight Management Center is the region's first comprehensive weight management center offering the complete range of medically supervised and surgical weight loss programs.
Only Covenant Health offers the latest evidenced-based solutions to permanent weight loss. From low-calorie food plans to bariatric surgery (gastric bypass or lap-banding), we can help you identify what is best for you and then provide individual instruction, education, and support along the way.
Our unique multidisciplinary approach sets us apart from all other weight loss programs in the region. Patients are assigned a team of medical professionals which includes a physician, nurse practitioner, psychologist, patient care coordinator, registered dietician, and exercise physiologist. Specialists in physical therapy and diabetes management are also available on-site to meet individual needs.

| What does this mean? |
This professional team is led by
Dr. Stephen Boyce, founder of the Parkwest Comprehehsive Weight Loss Center,(now known as Covenant Weight Management Center), a Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence. Dr. Robert Williams is also a member of the staff and board certified surgeon.
The Covenant Weight Management Center offers programs for adults and has as unique program for teens 14 and older. These programs serve the full continuum of patients from overweight to extremely obese.
People who are obese are at much greater risk for developing crippling conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, and osteoarthritis. By treating the weight problem, the center helps guide you to improve your overall health.
All of the programs are medically supervised by highly qualified staff trained in both the physical and behavioral aspects of weight loss. The focus of care is restoring health through safe and effective weight reduction.
The Covenant Weight Management Center will also make referrals to other Covenant Health resources and programs, including 50+ Fitness, Fort Sanders Health & Fitness Center, "Weigh To Go" in Knox and Sevier Counties, Missy Kane's Walking programs, Diabetes Center, Covenant Sleep Centers (at Regional, Parkwest and Methodist), Fort Sanders Sevier Wellness Center, and Methodist's PUMP! for adults and teens.
