Nurse Practitioner, Endocrinology

Form Health is a virtual obesity medicine clinic delivering multi-disciplinary evidence-based obesity treatment through telemedicine. Obesity impacts more than 40% of the US adult population, and although historically only about 1% of patients received medical treatment for their disease, the field of Obesity Medicine is entering a period of rapid growth. Form Health provides high-quality expert care and leverages technology to enhance the patient experience. All Form Health patients work closely with their care team, which includes board certified physicians, advanced practice professionals and Registered Dietitians. Through our proprietary mobile app patients engage in regular video visits, as well as text messaging, photo journaling, digital data transmission, and customized educational materials. We hold ourselves to the highest standards of clinical care, and to treating every individual with empathy and respect. 

Founded in 2019, Form Health is a venture-backed innovative startup with an experienced clinical and leadership team. Our mission is to empower patients and be leaders in Obesity Medicine driving impact at a national scale.

• Conduct weekly 30 minute collaborative meetings and 30 min asynchronous communication time with collaborating physicians to review cases, address clinical challenges, and provide ongoing support.
• Ensure clinical documentation, protocols, and treatment pathways are followed consistently within the team, with a focus on guidelines for managing complex diabetic populations.
• Assist in the professional development of colleagues by fostering clinical growth, offering feedback, and supporting continuing education in both endocrinology and obesity medicine.
• Participate in team-based care initiatives and contribute to a culture of collaboration and high-quality care.
• Attend relevant departmental meetings and contribute to quality improvement efforts within the diabetes and obesity medicine program.
