At the Johns Hopkins Healthful Eating, Activity & Weight Program (HEAWP), our goal is to be a resource that provides a patient-centered experience for the delivery of multidisciplinary, evidence-based clinical services to prevent or manage chronic diseases through lifestyle changes and weight loss for your patients. We are committed to providing services supported by robust scientific evidence.

We believe in a collaborative patient management approach with referring physicians. Our physicians do not assume the primary care of your patients.
