While it feels like we are nearer to the end of COVID-life than its beginning, there?s undoubtedly quite a while still to go. I hope everyone will continue to be safe and smart as we await vaccinations and other positive developments. Some important notes about NCWW services: We continue fully virtual operations, with all services ? individual counseling, group sessions, exercise classes, etc ? conducted via video- and telehealth. As I have noted previously, we will continue as is for the foreseeable future, until such time that it is prudent to transition back to in-person meetings. In addition to the standard NCWW groups and classes, please note several COVID-specific offerings that you may find helpful: COVID and obesity: How much should I worry? (Tuesday, December 8 at 5:30pm): Extensive attention has focused on risks for COVID, including those associated with excess weight, and the media reports and social media blurbs paint a confusing picture of what to believe. This seminar will review what we know about the COVID infection and COVID-related disease, with a focus on the relationships between weight and COVID. All current and prospective NCWW patients are welcome to attend, but capacity is limited so if you haven?t already signed up please let us know asap.
