Collaborative Webinar: Empowering Women Living with Obesity

Living with obesity may affect women in several ways — from its impact on socioeconomic status to health and emotional well-being. They may experience challenges seeking medical care as well as bias and discrimination from society.

During this webinar, c0-hosted by the Obesity Action Coalition (OAC), the Society for  Women’s Health Research, Black Women’s Health Imperative, and the STOP Obesity Alliance, panelists will empower women with obesity in navigating their health. They will cover topics from insurance (ex: navigating coverage issues) to patient support (ex: self-advocacy, shared decision-making with healthcare providers, available resources) to share how to advocate for better coverage.

This webinar will also review topics such as weight bias and stigma and the importance of using people-first language when speaking about obesity.
