Weight Inclusive Care Company, knownwell, Unveils Its First Atlanta-Based Clinic

The company brings its comprehensive, compassionate virtual and in-person care services to Georgia as it continues to scale across the U.S.

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--knownwell, the first-of-its-kind weight-inclusive primary care and metabolic health company, today announced the physical expansion of its care offering to the metro Atlanta, Georgia area. This new location marks the company’s seventh opening in the last year, bringing its physical presence to 10 total clinics across the U.S., in addition to virtual care nationwide.

Coming on the heels of knownwell’s most recent opening last month in Woburn, Massachusetts, the new Atlanta location will continue to advance the company’s mission to deliver care, free of bias and shame, for individuals affected by overweight or obesity.

As the obesity crisis in America continues to worsen, with about one in five U.S. adults with obesity, few options exist for those seeking a healthcare home. Offering comprehensive metabolic health services, including the prescription of GLP-1s, nutrition, and behavioral counseling, knownwell’s goal is not solely to help patients lose weight, but to provide a space where their health problems are not dismissed or written off as a result of their weight.

“Having struggled with obesity since childhood, I am extremely passionate about bringing inclusive care to communities across the U.S.,” says Brooke Boyarksy Pratt, knownwell Co-Founder and CEO. “Georgia has one of the highest obesity rates in America, yet few options for obesity-focused health services exist, leaving its residents underserved and without access to the comprehensive, compassionate care they deserve. knownwell’s arrival in Atlanta represents the next step in our nationwide expansion and continued goal to reach more lives across the U.S.”

“I am thrilled to bring the knownwell model of care to Atlanta–a model that puts the patients at the center, offering compassion, respect, and evidence-based treatment,” says Atlanta Market Development Lead Clinician, Ijeoma Azonobi. “Our community deserves healthcare that makes them feel seen and supported, while addressing the full spectrum of their health needs, not just a number on the scale. I am excited to make that a reality here."

knownwell is on a mission to make weight-inclusive healthcare more accessible. It offers full-coverage care, including metabolic health services, comprehensive primary care, nutrition counseling, and behavioral health services online and in person, and accepts insurance.
