Dear Colleague:

Given the current epidemic of obesity, you probably see many patients whose health could dramatically improve through weight loss. Effective obesity treatment requires a great deal of lifestyle education and support; therefore, I encourage you to refer your overweight patients to the Turning Point Weight and Health Management Program, located at the Tukwila Center for Health and Medicine in Woodburn.

We specialize in providing a serious, research-based treatment that relies on intensive lifestyle education and the strategic use of meal replacements. More than 50 research-based studies and references conclude that using meal replacements is the treatment of choice, yielding superior results to "conventional" dieting approaches.

We can help your patients who need to lose anywhere from 10-200-plus pounds through our comprehensive services:
  • Medically supervised and non-medically supervised diet options.
  • Intensive lifestyle education.
  • Long-term maintenance program.
  • Frequent progress reports to the primary care physician for medically supervised patients.
The diet programs we offer were developed by Health Management Resources (HMR), the nation’s leading provider of weight management services to the medical community. Lawrence Stifler, Ph.D., President of HMR has more than 30 years of experience researching and developing programs in behavioral medicine with a specialization in weight management. HMR has been treating patients since 1983 (23 years) and continues to have an impressive track record, having published more than a dozen weight loss and weight maintenance studies in recent years.

Allow us to treat your patients who are struggling with their weight. If you have any specific questions about the program, please do not hesitate to call me or a member of my staff.

Dr. BlountSincerely,
Elizabeth J. Blount, M.D.
