Susan Borgman Clinical Director of Wellspring Academy of the Carolinas said of Georgia: “Whilst her weight loss is huge and her attitude inspirational she remains an unhealthy weight. She is still morbidly obese. “Whilst we are actively looking to establish an Academy in the UK that option is not yet available either with us the NHS or any other providers in the UK or the EU. “Lynda Williams Nurse Director at the tLHB said they would look at Georgia’s needs if and when she came back to live in the area.
