The Montana Center for the Treatment of Obesity offers a free monthly informational seminar. Our Bariatric Program Coordinator and the bariatric surgeons meet with potential patients and their support people to provide information on the surgical options available and the comprehensive program offered. The format of this seminar allows time for questions, answers and discussion. A representative from St. Patrick Hospital's Billing Department will speak briefly about payment options.
We ask our patients to attend at least one educational seminar prior to weight-loss surgery. Seminars are held several times a month from 5:30 - 7:30pm at St. Patrick Hospital's Broadway Building Conference Center.
Call the office at 406.329.5866 for details and registration, or visit our
Community Events Calendar to view upcoming seminars.
