At Northwest Health, we understand how challenging weight loss can be. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than one third of American adults are morbidly obese, increasing their risk for heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and certain cancers, and keeping them from an active and happy life.
We also know that it’s never too late to take control. Our dedicated bariatric programs offer proven solutions and compassionate support when traditional options haven’t worked. Like other men and women we have helped, we are here to help you enjoy your own life-changing success.
The weight loss surgery programs at Northwest Medical Center – Springdale and Northwest Health Physicians’ Specialty Hospital are accredited by the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP). This accreditation demonstrates our commitment to provide patients in Northwest Arkansas with high-quality surgical care and post-operative support. Northwest Medical Center - Springdale is now a Blue Distinction Center of Excellence for Bariatrics. Our multidisciplinary programs aim to improve patient outcomes and long-term success through preoperative and postoperative care designed specifically for the needs of severely obese patients.
