Compass Wellness Weight Management Program

Voted the Best Weight Loss Program/Center in Joplin, Southwest Missouri, and the Four States, the Compass Wellness Weight Management Program at La Boussole Medical Spa & Wellness Center is a personalized journey designed to provide you with a comprehensive health and wellness package to support your weight loss goals.

Our Medical Director, Dr. Altagrace Hanley, along with our highly skilled nursing staff, is dedicated to equipping you with the resources necessary to help you achieve your desired outcomes and guide you toward a healthier lifestyle.


Advanced Medical Support with GLP-1 Injections

Our weight loss program integrates Semaglutide or Tirzepatide injections—groundbreaking medications initially designed for individuals dealing with chronic weight management issues and as insulin boosters for those managing diabetes.

Both medications function as glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, mirroring the effects of GLP-1, a hormone crucial for regulating blood sugar levels and appetite. Tirzepatide also targets the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor, another hormone involved in blood sugar regulation.


La Boussole's Dr. Hanley: A Leader in Medical Weight Management

Dr. Hanley, a triple board-certified physician, leads our medical weight loss program with advanced expertise in obesity medicine.

Her Obesity Board Certification comes after completing a year-long fellowship with The Obesity Medicine Association (OMA) and passing a rigorous four-hour board examination to earn her Board Certification from the American Board of Obesity Medicine (ABOM).

Her specialized training recognizes obesity as a unique disease process and focuses on four key pillars of obesity management:

  • Nutrition
  • Medical Management
  • Physical Activity
  • Behavioral Modification

These are principles that La Boussole has always emphasized, but Dr. Hanley wanted to formalize her expertise to ensure our weight loss program continues to offer patients the full spectrum of evidence-based treatments, enhancing their weight loss journeys.
