About Joe
Joseph Zucchi, PA-C, MPAS
I’m a physician associate and Clinical Supervisor at Transition Medical Weight Loss in Salem, New Hampshire. My work includes caring for patients, supporting our clinical team, and helping people navigate the practical challenges of obesity treatment.
I started making infographics to explain research and share useful information with other clinicians. Obesity Medicine Visuals brings that work together so it’s easier to find, read, and share.
Outside the clinic, I speak nationally about obesity medicine, write about treatment and access, and serve on the board of the New England Obesity Society, where I work with colleagues on obesity education and patient access. I was grateful to receive POCN’s America’s Top PA award in 2026, recognizing my work in patient care, education, and advocacy. I also teach PA and nursing students. Through Obesity Medicine Visuals, I bring those experiences together to help clinicians, patients, and educators better understand obesity and its treatment.
