Brooke Boyarsky Pratt started Knownwell after confronting weight stigma from physicians, recalling her painful experience with dismissive responses to her health concerns.
The current healthcare system drives people away from primary care, ultimately worsening obesity, which motivated Boyarsky Pratt to create a welcoming clinic for those affected.
Knownwell Clinic, which opened in May 2023, aims to provide a supportive environment for patients with obesity, incorporating thoughtful design with large, comfortable furniture.
Patients at Knownwell often transition between primary care and weight management services, demonstrating an open dialogue about weight, initiated by the patients themselves.
