Heidi Prather, DO, Sports Medicine and Hip Preservation Physiatrist at HSS and Founder and Medical Director of the HSS Lifestyle Medicine Program, participated in a webinar hosted by Osteoarthritis Action Alliance, where she discussed America's metabolic crisis, the current state of healthcare delivery, and the links between osteoarthritis and metabolic health. 

She highlighted lifestyle medicine as an effective framework for addressing these interconnected challenges, shared outcomes from the HSS Lifestyle Medicine Program – a standardized, interprofessional program designed to help people with musculoskeletal pain improve whole-person health, reduce pain, and enhance function through behavior change – and outlined what's next.
