MVH Holds Virtual Bariatric Information Sessions

Hiram Gonzalez, M.D., a surgeon at Monongahela Valley Hospital, will discuss MVH's Weight Control and Wellness Program during a free education session on Wednesday, August 5, at 6 p.m. via an online Zoom meeting.

During the session, Dr. Gonzalez will explain the types of bariatric surgery MVH offers. The surgery is a weight reduction option for people struggling to lose 100 pounds or more.

"Several of the people who have had the surgery at MVH have lowered their blood pressure and even eliminated the need for diabetes medications," reports Dr. Gonzalez.
