Emplify Health by Gundersen provides job opportunities for high school students
The program graduate Krystyn Lilla is a patient attendant in Emplify Health's rehab unit. She says being a part of the program helped prepare her for her role, 'I learned all through my different rotations the different job skills and how important those job skills are to work in the hospital. For the memories, making a bunch of new friends, all the great mentors that I had through the rotations, and getting this job.'
Anderson says a big part of the program is job development and teaching students soft skills. 'We practice interviewing. We build resumes. We go out job seeking. We take them on the interviews. We support them in their interviews. We also do onboarding and job coaching once they graduate. We will support them for up to three months to make sure that they have a successful in the job also.'
Many family members and Emplify staff are ready to see these students take their next steps on their life journey. 72 interns have completed the program since it began eight years ago.

Canada's obesity rate grew faster after COVID-19 pandemic with women and young adults impacted more, study finds
Obesity rates in Canada increased faster in recent years — including a jump among women and younger adults — compared to before the COVID-19 pandemic, a new study has found. According to researchers at McMaster University, obesity rates increased by an average of 0.5 per cent annually during the 11 years leading up to the pandemic. But between 2020 and 2023, the annual increase doubled to an average of just over one per cent. Over the 15-year study, women and younger adults in particular saw a larger increase in obesity rates than other groups — something the study points out has not been the case in the past. The findings — which were published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal Monday — were based on the health data of nearly 750,000 Canadian adults over 18. It was collected through the annual Canadian Community Health Survey between 2009 to 2023. Researchers used body mass index (BMI) as a metric for obesity — a measure that lead author and McMaster associate professor Laura Anderson acknowledged is not perfect. 'It is not a direct measure of body fat. It's also not a direct measure of health outcomes,' Anderson said. 'But for large, population-based studies where we're looking at screening, we can still use BMI because it is a proxy for obesity.' The study does not go into the potential reasons for the jump in obesity rates coming out of the pandemic, but Anderson said she and the other researchers hypothesize that it was the changes to physical activity and sedentary time from public health lockdowns that likely contributed. Anderson believes women and young adults were particularly affected due to added mental health challenges. 'We know that women had, in many cases, an additional burden of caregiving duties during the pandemic,' she said. 'It's possible the stress associated with caregiving and other different patterns of employment could be associated with the increased risk.' Whether obesity rates continue to increase or start declining remains unclear, but Anderson stressed that any treatments or preventions for obesity cannot be one size fits all. 'Obesity is a complex condition with multiple different causes,' she said, adding that it can't all be blamed on individual-level behaviours. 'Shifting to more of an upstream thinking about changing the policies that can support health behaviours is really the way forward.' Some of these changes could ensure people have access to healthier food or greater health education, or even making sure there are enough primary-care physicians available for people looking for help with their weight, Anderson said. Sanjeev Sockalingam, a psychiatry professor at the University of Toronto and the scientific director for the advocacy group Obesity Canada, said it's important any treatment avoids any stigma. 'We need to think about compassionate approaches where we can mitigate this stigma and bias as much as we can,' he said, noting that many people living with obesity might worry about talking to their doctor about their weight due to bad experiences in the past. Part of this means educating current and future health-care providers on how to have discussions around weight and obesity with patients, but also reducing biases within the greater public. 'Allies to patients who are living with obesity can be advocates as well to help with that change,' Sockalingam said.

Obesity rates in Canada jumped during COVID-19, says a new study
About one-third of Canadians have become obese — with more weight gain happening during the pandemic, according to a new study. The research, published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal (CMAJ) Monday, found that 32.7 per cent of Canadians (10.6 million people) were obese in 2023 — an increase of about eight percentage points since 2009. But the researchers also saw a steeper increase in obesity during the COVID-19 pandemic. "The pandemic had such a profound impact on our daily lives … including changes in our eating behaviours and access to healthy foods," said Laura Anderson, lead author on the study and associate professor in health, research methods, evidence and impact at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ont. Obesity is a medical condition that puts people at higher risk of other serious health issues such as stroke, Type 2 diabetes and certain types of cancer. With frequent lock downs forcing people to stay at home during the pandemic, researchers wanted to see how this changed people's weight. To study this, Anderson and her team looked at the most recent self-reported body mass index (BMI) data from 746,250 Canadians who were 18 years or older between 2009 and 2023. The researchers followed the World Health Organization's definition of obesity, classifying someone as such if they had a BMI equal to or higher than 30. (BMI has its problems as a measure of health; it's not a direct measure of body fat and doesn't account for differences across ethnic groups, sex or gender, for example. But, it's still the preferred measure for researchers looking at groups and population-level trends.) Before COVID-19, Anderson says Canada's obesity rate was increasing by about 0.5 percentage points per year. But during the pandemic, she says that rate doubled, meaning the obesity rate increased by about one percentage point per year. While the research didn't look into why this might have happened, Dr. Sean Wharton, an internal medicine doctor who works with people struggling with obesity, says mental health issues could have played a role. "There was isolation and depression," said Wharton, who did not take part in the new CMAJ study. Wharton says he's a clinical advisor to all of the weight loss drug companies. "People who were living with depression, their depression may have [gotten] even worse. And that's where we saw people having an increase in their weight." When asked whether obesity rates will drop now, Wharton says he doesn't think so. "Once you have that weight gain, it's hard to actually get it off." Over the 15-year study period and during the pandemic, the greatest increase in obesity was in young adults between the ages of 18 and 39 years old. And specifically, the research found that an increasing number of women became severely obese, which the authors considered to be a BMI of 40 or higher. While the study didn't explore the reason behind this, Anderson says it could be that "women had increased stress and burden of other caregiving duties during the pandemic." And that was the case for Toronto resident Angela Martin. During COVID-19, she worked as a nurse in a family doctor's office. She also separated from her partner. Between those two events, Martin says 2020 was a hard year. "Looking back, I was so not fine," she said. Even though she's struggled with obesity throughout her life, Martin said she gained a significant amount of weight in the early COVID months. "I mean you did the one thing you could do … you were not prevented from cooking so I tried all new recipes and then you couldn't go to the gym," she said. While more people became obese in general, the study's authors were most concerned about the rise in people with severe obesity. In 2009, about 2.4 per cent of Canadians were severely obese, but in 2023 that increased to nearly five per cent. "With more severe rates of obesity, we're going to see more of the complications," said Wharton. In particular, he said people are more at risk of illnesses like Type 2 diabetes, osteoarthritis or heart disease. When looking into other conditions affecting people with obesity, the research found that half of them didn't have any chronic health conditions, but five to 10 per cent had between three to six long-term health problems, such as heart disease, stroke and cancer. This study looked at data up to 2023, so it's not clear yet what the growing availability of weight-loss drugs like Wegovy — approved last year — may have on obesity rates post-pandemic. The study notes that may already be changing, but the drugs weren't widely available during their study years. The researchers didn't dive into this in their study, and won't be able to explore it until more data comes out.

Obesity rates in Canada increased faster during pandemic than in previous 11 years
TORONTO - A new report says the prevalence of obesity increased faster during the COVID-19 pandemic than it did over the course of more than a decade beforehand, specifically in young adults. The research published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal looked at obesity rates over a 15-year period based on the body mass index of almost 750,000 people who were 18 or older. Researchers say they saw an increase of about eight per cent over the first 11 years of the study, from 2009 to 2020, compared to an increase of more than 1 percentage point a year between 2020 and 2023. That's about twice the pre-pandemic rate of increase. Laura Anderson, the study's author and an associate professor at McMaster University, says these findings suggest public health restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic may have had an impact on obesity rates. Anderson says there was a 'steep increase' in obesity rates among young adults, particularly young females, who showed an increase of 4.7 per cent between 2020 and 2023 in the youngest age group. Dr. Mélanie Henderson, a pediatric endocrinologist and researcher at the CHU Sainte-Justine, says the closure of gyms, extracurricular programs, schools and workplaces led to an absence of structure, extra screen time and closer proximity to the fridge. 'It was kind of the perfect storm,' says Henderson, who had no connection to the study. She adds that adolescence is a vulnerable time that could have made younger adults more susceptible to pandemic conditions. The study also suggests that stress related to changes in job status or caregiving may have led to weight gain for some. But it also says further study is needed to better understand the causes and how they can be prevented in the future. Henderson says the first step is creating policies that ensure health-care services are available to treat and manage obesity. This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 14, 2025.
