What is MONARC:
MONARC is an acronymn for Morbidly Obese Never Again Resource Centre that was established in 2008 by two very dedicated individuals, Gwen Watson and Cathy Bateman who had weight loss surgery on the same day in the United States. Both Gwen and Cathy recognized the need to have a support group in the Quinte region and with the permission of the US hospital started MONARC in Trenton. Participants over the last number of years have grown as people discover there is a support group close to home.
