Congratulations on your designation as an ASMBS Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence!
In dealing with obesity, there needs to be an organization that represents the interests and concerns of those affected, and most importantly, a voice to express those concerns. The OAC is that voice, and was founded to bring together all who are touched by obesity – patients, professionals and organizations.
In helping these individuals, organizations/institutions and professionals in bariatrics are integral parts in advancing the cause of obesity. The OAC would like to invite you to take that next step in furthering excellence by joining the OAC as a member. |
