Community Perspectives

OAC Community Member Angela has struggled with weight almost all her life, and her experiences with weight bias have impacted her in more ways than one.

When you make a charitable gift to the OAC during this season of giving, you help us create real change for real people – people like Ava from Louisiana who found her voice as an advocate for people affected by obesity.

Dr. Sunil Daniel, OAC National Board Member and Obesity Medicine Physician, shares why he supports NOCW2018: to advance more effective partnerhips between healthcare providers and patients.

Lyndsea Burke, USA National Miss Indiana, uses her pageant platform in the Miss America Organization to erase obesity stigma and raise awareness of bias. Her activism is inspired by the memory of her Aunt Jodie who passed away from obesity-related conditions. Hear the heartfelt reason for why Lyndsea is supporting NOCW2018, taking place October 7-13.
