Today is National Rural Health Day! 🏥🚜🚑

Every November, the third Thursday is set aside to celebrate National Rural Health Day (NRHD). NRHD is an opportunity to “Celebrate the Power of Rural” by honoring the selfless, community-minded, and determined spirit that prevails in rural America.

Rural communities are wonderful places to live and work, which is why nearly 61 million people call them home! Our small towns, farming communities, and frontier areas where our hospitals and clinics are located are places where neighbors know each other, listen to each other, respect each other, and work together to benefit the greater good.

Here at Iowa Weight Loss Specialists, we're "Proud To Be Rural!"

We’re so proud of you, Tiffany!👏

After years of yo-yo weight loss and trying every fad diet out there, Tiffany was ready for real change. With the support of her husband and the guidance of Dr. Eibes and our weight loss team, she took the leap and never looked back.

Today, Tiffany has lost 100 lbs. and regained her energy. She’s running again, smiling brighter, and embracing life with a new, positive outlook.

“Some of my favorite things after surgery: Crossing my legs when sitting. The steering wheel doesn't rub against my stomach. I can walk into a store and find more than 1 pair of jeans in my size. My feet don't swell up after a long day at the office or on a long car ride."

We love hearing about your non-scale victories! Learn more about Tiffany's journey: https://bit.ly/4no6er8
