The Medicare Weight Loss Program at QMG is designed to provide the tools, coaching, and support needed for weight management.

The program is targeted to individuals with a BMI of 30 or greater. Don't know your BMI? Check it here.

There is no physician order required to participate and Medicare is accepted for those who qualify. The program includes regular meetings with the support staff. As weight is lost many participants find they also lower their risk for heart disease, heart attack, and stroke. Many individuals find it's easier to manage their diabetes and weight loss reduces the stress on bones and joints. 

For more information or to get started today call 217-222-6550, ext. 3117. The program is offered at our main campus in Quincy and also at our Lewistown, MO office.

The HMR diet offered at QMG was recently named the number 2 Best Weight-Loss Diet in U.S. News & World Reports' Best Diets of 2015. The study looked at 34 diets and compared their short and long-term success, how easily they are followed, their nutritional completeness, and their potential to prevent and manage diabetes and heart disease among other factors.

QMG has offered the HMR diet for 5 years resulting in thousands of pounds of weight loss for participants. The program is unique in that it is a collaboration of medical professionals and health educators who closely monitor each participant's health and modify the diet to their individual needs.
