Problem statement
This project is based on Mount Pleasant Community Healthcare Clinic which is a new primary healthcare facility that offers accessible, affordable, integrated and quality care to all. The facility has started its journey in 2017 and with the services provided it is growing rapidly. Hence, with the growing population and demand, it is becoming difficult for them to maintain their services. Therefore, it has decided to open up a separate facility for managing the growing obesity problem in the community. Hence, this project has been undertaken to develop a new facility for management of the obesity problem within the community.
This project is focused on developing a new facility for Mount Pleasant Community Healthcare Clinic so that they can easily manage the growing population and demand. The motive of this project is to provide Mount Pleasant Community Healthcare Clinic with a new place so that they can manage the growing obesity problem in the community.

- Realistic – The growing number of people with obesity problem will be reduced by the year 2035.
- Time limited – The new facility will provide suitable treatment to the persons with obesity problem so that number of patients decrease by the year 2035.
