Accelerating access to bariatric surgery
Partner with Medtronic IHS to optimize the bariatric pathway and increase patient access to surgery.

limited capacity and unequal access
Bariatric surgeons and clinical leaders are under growing pressure to deliver more procedures with limited resources.
Common barriers include:
