Susie's Story: You don't have to do it alone

“When I started Ridgeview's non-surgical weight loss program, I was struggling with everyday activities and worried I wouldn't be able to make a major move in retirement. Today, I'm 120 pounds lighter, my health has completely transformed, and at age 77, I have a better quality of life than I did 30 years ago. I stay active with exercise classes, volunteering and spending time with my family. The support I received from Dr. Chute and the entire Ridgeview team gave me the confidence and tools to succeed. If you're considering taking the first step, my advice is simple: trust the process and take the leap. You don't have to do it alone.” – Susie Griep, Ridgeview non-surgical weight loss program participant
