A Better World for People with Obesity The OAC exists to meet the needs of people affected by obesity.

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.
