The multidisciplinary Obesity Clinic at Hillel Yaffe Medical Center offers comprehensive, personalized care for people living with obesity, based on the understanding that obesity is a chronic disease requiring long-term treatment.

The clinic brings together a multidisciplinary team under one roof, including a physician specializing in endocrinology and diabetes, a nurse, a clinical dietitian and an exercise consultant.

Treatment at the clinic is available to adults over the age of 18 with a BMI above 30. Care includes diagnosis, development of a personalized care plan, and ongoing guidance and follow-up. The program combines lifestyle modification counseling, nutritional support, and physical activity guidance, with the goal of promoting safe weight loss and overall health improvement.

Patients contacting the clinic should obtain a referral form from their HMO for an initial visit with the multidisciplinary team (code 97802) and a series of three additional appointments with the dietitian (code 97802).
