Testimonials
When Kevin’s doctor told him he wanted to see him reach the age of 30, he knew it was time for a change. Thanks to the life-changing care at the UP Bariatric Institute, Kevin’s journey toward a healthier life began and he not only transformed his health but also rediscovered his zest for life.
Today, Kevin is not only thriving—he’s running half-marathons, planning a beautiful fall wedding with his fiancée and embracing a future filled with possibilities he once thought were out of reach.
Kevin’s story is a powerful reminder that every step toward better health is a step toward a brighter, more fulfilling future.
Going the Distance | Dan's Story

Distinctions
UP Health System - Marquette has been designated as a Blue Distinction Center+ for Bariatric Surgery.*
* Blue Distinction Centers (BDC) met overall quality measures for patient safety and outcomes, developed with input from the medical community. A Local Blue Plan may require additional criteria for facilities located in its own service area; for details, contact your Local Blue Plan. Blue Distinction Centers+ (BDC+) also met cost measures that address consumers’ need for affordable healthcare. Each facility’s cost of care is evaluated using data from its Local Blue Plan. Facilities in CA, ID, NY, PA, and WA may lie in two Local Blue Plans’ areas, resulting in two evaluations for cost of care; and their own Local Blue Plans decide whether one or both cost of care evaluation(s) must meet BDC+ national criteria. National criteria for BDC and BDC+ are displayed on www.bcbs.com. Individual outcomes may vary. For details on a provider’s in-network status or your own policy’s coverage, contact your Local Blue Plan and ask your provider before making an appointment. Neither Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association nor any Blue Plans are responsible for non-covered charges or other losses or damages resulting from Blue Distinction or other provider finder information or care received from Blue Distinction or other providers.
