New physician joins Holland Hospital Bariatric Services team
Currently, in the United States nearly one in three adults are considered overweight, and more than two in five adults are classified as obese. Living with obesity takes a significant toll on all areas of the body, both mentally and physically. Holland Hospital and Grand Health Partners are working together to combat this issue and help individuals lose weight and gain more from life.
Holland Hospital is pleased to welcome Dawn White, MD, with Grand Health Partners, to the Bariatric Services team. Dr. White joins her peers, Dr. Randal Baker, Dr. Jeremy Bushman, and Dr. Eric Krebill in bringing experienced bariatric services to the lakeshore.
