RENO, NEVADA – September 30, 2013 – Today, more than one-third of U.S. adults suffer from obesity, a condition that is often accompanied by heart disease, stroke, Type 2 Diabetes, and even certain types of cancer. Considering that staggering statistic, Reno-based Western Bariatric Institute (WBI) believes it is more important than ever to raise awareness of obesity to help ensure access to effective treatment options as well as to provide education about prevention.
