Way to Health Weight Loss Program
Vance-Granville Community College has agreed to participate in a weight loss study being conducted by the Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention at UNC-Chapel Hill. We are one of 16 community colleges in the state involved in the study. The study will provide a FREE weight loss program lasting twelve months for eligible full-time and part-time employees of the college and work-study students.
To be eligible for the study, individuals must be at least 18 years old and have a BMI (body mass index) of 25 – 42. The attachment, “Frequently Asked Questions” provides instructions for computing your BMI and includes additional criteria for participation in the study.
If you think you might be interested, please read the attachments regarding the study and the benefits for those who wish to participate. You may go the Way to Health website,
to learn more about the program. Enrollment will be confidential and will take place November 1, 2 & 3 in Building 9. Confidentiality will be maintained throughout the intervention process and for the study. I will send more information concerning enrollment at a later date.
