Ministry Weight Management, a weight-loss program located at Ministry Rehabilitation Services in Rhinelander, was recently designated as a recipient of the 2008 HMR Gold Standard Certificate of Achievement.  This award distinguishes Ministry Health Care from hundreds of clinics nationwide using the program for weight loss developed by Health Management Resources (HMR), a national healthcare company.

HMR recognizes programs that demonstrate excellence in performance and patient care by presenting Gold Standard Certificates annually to a select group of clinics across the nation. Certificates are awarded in categories such as greatest weight-loss rates, outstanding group attendance, and best weight maintenance data.  HMR Programs nationwide submit clinical data in these areas and the top programs are presented with the HMR Gold Standard Certificate of Achievement.

Ministry Weight Management, a department of Saint Mary’s Hospital, offers a comprehensive approach to weight loss that includes in-depth lifestyle education, personal coaching, and the option of medically supervised treatment.  With both in-clinic and at-home weight-loss options, the clinic has serviced hundreds of individuals at the Rhinelander location.
