patient, and members of Hahnemann's multidisciplinary team of specialists
including nutritionist Marcie Amerstein, psychiatrist Ralph Petrucci, Ph.D.,
and pulmonologist Joanne Getsy, M.D., who are directly involved in evaluating
potential bariatric surgery patients.According to Dr. Castellanos, nearly 65

weight loss program."Hahnemann University Hospital is a 618-bed academic medical
