Overview

Advocating can appear to be a tough task for anyone, but the OAC has developed a variety of advocacy tools to help you in your efforts.

The Legislative Action Center is a great place to start to see what the latest advocacy topics are and it's an easy way to contact your elected officials and advocate for the cause of obesity. Next, you have the OAC Insurance Guide. This guide was created to provide those seeking weight-loss surgery with the tools needed to advocate to their insurer for coverage. The OAC also offers a variety of State Guides which are state-specific and offer the advocate a more detailed approach to advocating for the obese in their home state. And lastly, the OAC has developed Coverage Fact Sheets for you to utilize when forming your advocacy initiative to your employer, elected official, insurance provider and much more.
