Obesity is a chronic disease that affects 2 in 5 adults in the U.S. Understanding the facts about obesity, its risk factors and the many ways it affects your health is an important part of your weight loss journey. Virginia Mason Franciscan Health and the Center for Digestive Health is hosting a free, virtual event on April 24. Join us for this free, informative talk to learn about weight management, treatment, medical and surgical options for weight loss, and more.

Virginia Mason Franciscan Health is recognized nationally and internationally for endoscopic treatment of gastroesophageal, hepatic and pancreaticobiliary disorders. An endoscope is a thin flexible tube that holds a miniature camera, microscopic instruments or an ultrasound probe. Gastroenterologists carefully maneuver the endoscope throughout the upper or lower gastrointestinal tract to diagnose and treat medical disorders, such as bleeding sites, tumors or obstructions. 

Virginia Mason Franciscan Health has been ranked consistently among the top five medical centers in Washington state for treatment of GI disorders. Learn about how to prepare for your procedures. Read about all of the Digestive Health conditions we treat.
