The Sisters Metabolic Center for Wellness is a valuable resource for patients who are overcoming a wide range of health challenges.
With a holistic approach to wellness, patients will have access to the equipment, resources, and clinical professionals to help them overcome the debilitating effects of obesity, the challenges of preparing for and recovering from orthopedic procedures, as well as returning to lasting cardiac health. With interdisciplinary teams working closely together, the center is designed so that patients may visit for one specific need, or multiple, depending on their personal needs and customized care plan.
The 6,000 sq ft. facility is conveniently located on the first floor of our St. Joseph Campus and features state-of-the-art equipment and clinical space.
Bariatric Surgery & Support Services – Sisters of Charity Hospital is an accredited Comprehensive Center by the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program (MBSAQIP), demonstrating our commitment to delivering safe, high-quality care to our metabolic and bariatric patients. The program at Sisters Metabolic & Wellness Center provides comprehensive, holistic care to support your weight loss journey. Services include nutritional counseling, diabetes education, and both pre- and post-surgery support groups—all designed to help you achieve and maintain healthy, sustainable weight loss.
Diabetes Education – Our certified diabetes educators provide guidance on healthy eating, weight management, physical activity, blood sugar monitoring, and proper use of medications, giving you the tools to manage your condition and live a healthier lifestyle.
Intensive Cardiac Rehab – The intensive cardiac rehabilitation program is designed to help individuals with heart conditions improve their physical, emotional, and social well-being. Intensive cardiac rehab involves a combination of exercise, education, and support from healthcare professionals who help patients recover from a cardiac event, such as a heart attack or heart surgery, and prevent future heart-related problems.
Licensed Clinical Social Worker – Through our licensed clinical social work services, we offer private counseling, therapeutic groups, and psychoeducational workshops. Classes focus on topics such as self-image and self-esteem, behavior modification, identifying challenges, and underlying factors that contribute to weight gain, mindfulness and relaxation.
Medical Optimization – We offer the following pre-surgical clinical programs to help maximize patient outcomes: Supervised Exercise, Nutritional Counseling, Diabetes Education, Nurse Navigation, Wound Care Therapy, and Behavior Modification Therapy. Most of our patients are orthopedic and bariatric at this time, but these services are open to any pre-surgical patients with referrals.
Nutrition Counseling – Proper nutrition plays an important role in preventing illness and supporting recovery after surgery. Our registered dietitians offer personalized guidance, from general assessments to customized nutrition plans tailored to your needs. Whether you are managing a chronic condition such as kidney disease, heart disease, or diabetes, we work with you to create a well-rounded plan to help you feel your best and improve your overall health.
Occupational/Hand Therapy – Our therapists are focused on helping you regain the skills needed for everyday life. Treatment is designed to improve your ability to perform daily activities such as self-care, work, and hobbies, so you can return to your routine as safely and independently as possible.
Postoperative Therapy – Postsurgical therapy plays a large role in your recovery. It helps reduce pain, prevent stiffness and blood clots, and restores your strength and mobility, so you can return to your favorite daily activities comfortably and safely.
Presurgical Therapy – Physical therapy designed to prepare your body for an upcoming surgery. Presurgical therapy helps strengthen your body before surgery, reduces the risk of complications, improves your surgical outcomes, and promotes faster recovery.
Physical Therapy – Our staff of licensed physical therapists use the latest technology and most innovative treatments to help you regain function, improve range of motion, reduce pain, prevent re-injury and adapt to physical limitations for a variety of conditions.
Speech Therapy – We offer individualized speech therapy sessions and treatment plans for conditions that affect your speech, voice, ability to swallow, and other related disorders.
