It’s Time to Change the Way We Care.
Obesity Care Week (March 1-7, 2020) has arrived!
The OAC is once again proud to be a Founding Champion of this important awareness campaign alongside other organizations and supporters across the country. We share in the belief that obesity is a chronic, complex disease affecting more than 650 million people globally.
This is why together, we must change the way we care and ensure that people with obesity have access to comprehensive healthcare and support.
