Weight Loss Management

Nutrition Counseling
Bridgeport Hospital’s Nutrition & Wellness Center assists patients in most areas of nutrition counseling to address obesity, heart disease, diabetes, cancer-related illnesses, gastrointestinal diseases and many others.

Non-Surgical Weight Loss
The Center also offers the Optifast Weight Loss program. This 18-week medically supervised program is a successful weight loss solution. Average weight loss in the program is 57 lbs! Please call the Center to see if this is the right program for you.

The Nutrition & Wellness Center is now accepting new patients for individual nutrition counseling and for the Optifast Program.
