Mercy Center for Weight Reduction

At the Mercy Center for Weight Reduction we believe that a healthy weight is a healthy lifestyle and it takes support and encouragement to maintain that lifestyle. By visiting us you have taken the first step to learn about ways to become a “healthier you.” 

Since Iowa has such a large population of individuals who are obese (more than 100,000), the Mercy Center for Weight Reduction serves a great need. The Center offers state-of-the-art, compassionate care for the entire patient, from psychological needs to nutritional needs. Don’t wait; join the hundreds of patients who have been helped by our programs and expertise.
