La Boussole Medical Spa & Wellness Center Announces Dr. Hanley Has Achieved Board Certification in Obesity Medicine

23 January 2025

La Boussole Medical Spa & Wellness Center is thrilled to announce that our esteemed Medical Director, Dr. Altagrace Hanley, is now Board Certified in Obesity Medicine. This achievement not only reflects her dedication to advancing her expertise but also enhances the care we provide through our award-winning Compass Wellness Weight Management Program.

Dr. Hanley’s Obesity Board Certification comes after completing a year-long fellowship and a rigorous four-hour board examination. She fellowship trained with The Obesity Medicine Association (OMA) and was Board Certified by the American Board of Obesity Medicine (ABOM). Her fellowship training and Board Certification recognize obesity as a unique disease process and focus on the four key pillars of obesity management:

  • Nutrition
  • Medical Management
  • Physical Activity
  • Behavioral Modification

Dr. Hanley explains, “These are principles we’ve always emphasized, but I wanted to formalize my knowledge base and ensure we’re offering our patients the full scope of evidence-based treatment. I also pursued this official accreditation to further strengthen my ability to help patients in their weight management journeys.”

Dr. Hanley is now triple board-certified. She is a Mayo Clinic-trained Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Physician providing specialized treatments in traditional Eastern and innovative Western medicine. As La Boussole’s Medical Director, Dr. Hanley oversees all medical operations and patient services and provides wellness and weight loss counseling. She also performs medical spa services, including GLP-1 receptor agonist injections, IV Infusion Therapy, Acupuncture, Cupping, Moxibustion, Emsculpt NEO treatments for fat loss and muscle building, and Emsella treatments for incontinence and sexual health.

The Compass Wellness Weight Management Program: Comprehensive, Personalized Care

Dr. Hanley’s new Obesity Board Certification seamlessly aligns with La Boussole’s Compass Wellness Weight Management Program, which has been recognized as the Best Weight Loss Program/Center in Joplin, Southwest Missouri, and the Four States. Our program is built around the same pillars as Dr. Hanley’s OAM fellowship training, offering a holistic approach to weight management.

  2. Individualized Support: Our highly skilled nursing staff provides counseling, nutritional planning, and support every step of the way.
  3. Results-Driven Approach: Regular check-ins and advanced metrics—such as body fat percentage, BMI, and hydration levels—help track your progress.
  4. Evidence-Based Treatments: We integrate cutting-edge medications like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, which regulate blood sugar and appetite, making weight loss more sustainable.
