WeightWatchers Clinic
WeightWatchers Clinic is the clinical weight management division of WeightWatchers (formerly WW), a company founded in 1963 that has spent over six decades building behavioral weight loss programs. The clinic arm launched in 2023 after WeightWatchers acquired Sequence, a GLP-1 telehealth startup, for $132 million — a deal that gave WeightWatchers immediate access to licensed prescribers, pharmacy partnerships, and a clinical infrastructure for GLP-1 prescriptions.
