For many people, diet and exercise do not provide long-term, sustainable weight loss. Bariatric surgery and medical weight loss medication can provide lasting appetite reduction that helps people lose weight for good. We are proud to have our own comprehensive bariatric program, along with collaboration with Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU) that includes OHSU's bariatric providers performing surgeries right here on our campus.

Expert care for your weight loss needs 

We work with you to decide what type of weight-loss surgery or medical weight loss medication is right for your individual needs. Additionally, our accredited bariatric surgery program offers life-changing surgery right here at our medical center. Some of the services we provide include: 

  • Gastric sleeve surgery 
  • Gastric bypass surgery
  • Duodenal switch surgery
  • Medical weight loss medication management

Your weight-loss surgery begins with an extensive evaluation and education program. Virtual visits and online classes make this convenient for patients no matter where they’re located. Our program includes: 

  • A bariatric surgery seminar
  • Assistance with insurance eligibility
