Thanks to the hard work of all our patients and staff, we are pleased to announce that Intelligent Health Center recently received the 2008 HMR Gold Standard Certificate of Achievement. This award distinguishes Intelligent Health Center from hundreds of clinics nationwide that are using the HMR weight-loss program. Dr. Lawrence Stifler, Ph.D., founder and president of HMR personally handed out the certificate at a recent training the staff attended in Orlando.

Dr. Lawrence Stifler, Ph.D., president and founder of HMR (Health Management Resources) presents the 2008 Gold Standard Award to the staff of the Intelligent Health Center HMR Program for achieving excellence in weight- loss treatment. Staff members Scott Isaacs, MD, Bethany Knott, and Elizabeth Wilson, RD, LD, appear with Dr. Stifler.

HMR recognizes programs that demonstrate excellence in performance and patient care by presenting Gold Standard Certificates annually to selected clinics. The criteria for the awards include such variables as group attendance, compliance with the imperatives, weight loss success rates, and weight maintenance success rates. HMR clinics nationwide submit clinical data in these areas. The top programs are then awarded the Gold Standard Award for excellence within these different categories.

It’s clear you are committed to better health management!
