Bariatric Consulting

Atlas bariatric consulting combines experience with innovative solutions to build custom bariatric programs for any type of facility. We understand the various, complex challenges of caring for this patient population. Our team of clinicians, SPHM experts, and peer educators are ready to develop a custom, sustainable program tailored to your needs.

If your facility is 100 beds or 1000, Acute or Long Term care, Atlas can provide the infrastructure and training to ensure that your patients and staff enjoy the benefits of quality bariatric patient care. Whether your facility is interested in keeping up with standards of care, cutting costs, or increasing patient and caregiver satisfaction, Atlas can assist in implementing or improving your program.

Atlas offers consultative programs that deliver safety and satisfaction for patients and caregivers alike. Our programs provide safe mobilization of the general patient population, but focus on bariatric patients. However, we recognize that with 72.5 million obese adults in the United States, the bariatric patient population is quickly becoming the general population. Beyond caring for the bariatric weight loss surgery patient, Atlas prepares your facility for the efficient, compassionate mobilization of complex patients of size from admission to discharge.
