  • Qualifying for surgery - Surgical Weight Management | Salem Hospital
  • According to the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery ASMBS and the International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity and Metabolic Disorders IFSO patients with a body mass index BMI between 30 and 35 are eligible for surgery if they have weight related co-morbidities, such as Type 2 Diabetes. Patients with a BMI over 35 are candidates, even if they do not have weight related co-morbidities. Some health insurance plans require patients to have a BMI between 35 and 40 with weight related co-morbidities and a BMI over 40 with no weight related co-morbidities to be eligible for surgery. For patients not covered by insurance, there are self-pay options. While many of the costs incurred during the evaluation process will be covered by insurance, some charges may become the responsibility of the patient.

  • In her own words: Roxanne C. Ruppel | Salem Hospital | Mass General Brigham
  • I knew very early on that I wanted to take care of patients. I never thought I would do anything besides taking care of patients, but as is often the case in healthcare, somewhere along the way an opportunity comes up in management and leadership. I think that in healthcare leadership, the more you can do to stay close to that patient interface, the more gratifying the leadership role is. We have incredibly dedicated people across all job roles - our physicians, nurses and staff are so devoted to our patients and community. We're continuing to develop programs and expand the way we can serve patients, with those two purposes working in harmony with one another.
