About the Program

GLP-1 medications have revolutionized the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity, but their impact on the workforce related to weight loss challenges employee benefits norms.

This breakfast features keynote speaker Dr. Florencia Halperin discussing the changing landscape that brought GLP-1s to the employee benefits table.  Next, two employers will weigh the pros and cons as an employer-sponsored benefit for weight loss and well-being.  They also will share the complexities of incorporating GLP-1 medications into employer-sponsored plans, addressing the central question: Is weight loss a sufficient reason for employers to cover these treatments?

This session is designed to provide employers with the information and tools needed to make informed decisions about incorporating GLP-1s into their healthcare strategies as a tool for weight loss.
