What the OAC Community Means to Me

by OAC Staff

Summer 2024

The Obesity Action Coalition (OAC) understands that the journey to improved health can be challenging, but we also know that great things happen when we learn, connect and engage. We believe in the power of community and the profound impact it can have on each individual’s health journey.

When you join the OAC Community, you become part of a supportive and nurturing environment. You’ll discover hundreds of educational resources designed to help you navigate your journey with weight and health.

No matter where you are on your journey, the OAC Community is a place where you can truly belong, find support and thrive.
