Now that you've learned a little more about the OAC and why we exist, you may be asking, "So what do they do?" Let's take a moment to discover more about the OAC's vision, mission and work. 

A Better World for People with Obesity

The OAC exists to meet the needs of people affected by obesity. We fight for improved healthcare, better treatment, no more weight stigma, stronger support and a greater understanding of obesity itself.

We also believe that together as a Community, we can change hearts and minds about obesity by sharing our message and defending it! Here's a quick glance at the beliefs and demands which drive us:

Standing upon Our Core Pillars

Though obesity connects all of us in some way, our experiences, interests and needs are diverse. That's why the OAC focuses its efforts on four core pillars which shape the society we're striving for!

• Awareness: Connecting more people to obesity as a disease we should care about
• Education: Sharing science-based education about obesity and its available treatments
• Advocacy: Standing-up for the needs of people affected by obesity
• Support: Empowering those affected by obesity with tools, resources and connections

Our Community Builds the Future

We can't do what we do without you! OAC's Community is the driving force by which we make the world a better place for people with obesity. Our work is fueled by your voice and your support.
