All eight KP regions offer a wide variety of weight management programs for adults. Elements common to all programs include health education about:
- Healthy lifestyle (moving from ‘dieting' to making healthy food choices)
- Physical activity (how to include exercise in daily activities)
- Healthy eating (identifying triggers to unhealthy eating, how to shop for healthy foods, how to eat healthily away from home)
Programs range from single sessions to 12 - 18 month programs. Most programs are internal.
Bariatric surgery is available Programwide when medically indicated.
For children and teens:
Weight management programs and interventions include:
- Single or multiple session health education
- individual visits with registered dietician, health educator, behavioral health practitioner, and/or physician

KP regions often offer programs through outside vendors, for example, community-based programs like Kidshape , and No Weigh.
