Save the Date for Obesity Care Week 2024!

March 4-8, 2024

Obesity Action Coalition (OAC) is a proud Founding Champion of Obesity Care Week (OCW), and we need your help to make this the most impactful week of obesity awareness and support yet! Obesity Care Week is our chance to change the way we care for – and about – obesity. From recognizing obesity as a disease to creating a more positive and impactful relationship between patients and healthcare providers, Obesity Care Week aims to raise awareness, educate, and advocate for a better world for people living with obesity.

 

This Obesity Care Week, we are raising awareness of the 5 Principles of Obesity and encouraging our supporters to sign the pledge.

The 5 Principles of Obesity are: 

  1. It is undeniable that obesity is a chronic disease.
  2. Obesity is driven by powerful underlying biology, not choice.
  3. The many health effects of excess weight can start early.
  4. Obesity is treatable.
  5. Weight bias, stigma and discrimination are harmful.

Do you agree? Sign the pledge!
