At Family Physicians of Cedar Rapids, we believe healthcare goes beyond the walls of our office. Good health starts with education, and sometimes the best way to learn is right where you are, whether that’s at work, your church, or a community group.
That’s why we’re excited to offer a new opportunity this fall: Our doctor will come to your workplace or organization to share valuable information about weight loss injections and overall healthy living.
Weight loss can feel overwhelming when you’re trying to figure it out alone. With so many diets, quick fixes, and confusing advice out there, it’s important to know the science behind what works and what doesn’t. During these sessions, our doctor will discuss:
✅ How weight loss injections work and who may benefit from them
✅ Safe and realistic expectations for results
✅ The importance of pairing medication with healthy habits
These talks are designed to be practical, approachable, and motivating. Whether you’re looking to support employees in creating healthier lifestyles, encourage your church or community group, or just start the conversation about health, our team is here to help.
If you’d like to schedule a session for your group or learn more about our weight loss program, give us a call today. Together, we can help more people take the first step toward feeling better and living healthier.

Yesterday the world lost a beloved actor and father too soon. James Van Der Beek, known to so many from Dawson’s Creek and beyond, passed away at age 48 after a courageous battle with colorectal cancer. His wife shared that he faced his final days “with courage, faith, and grace,” surrounded by love. What the Numbers Say Colorectal cancer, what doctors often call colon or rectal cancer, has become increasingly common in younger adults. In fact, recent medical data shows that colorectal cancer is now the leading cause of cancer-related death among adults under age 50 in the United States and rates in younger populations are on the rise.
