We’re excited to share that cash prices for Wegovy, a powerful medicine to treat obesity and it's complications, have recently decreased, making this medication more accessible for many patients. 👏

While this is a step in the right direction, we’re hopeful that lower pricing will encourage greater competition among brands, leading to even more affordable options in the future, so that ALL patients can afford this treatment.

If you’re interested in learning whether this medication might be appropriate for you, talk with one of our providers. We’re here to help you understand your options and choose what’s best for your health.

Your mental health matters—reach out if you need support. 💛
