Obesity Care Week Starts THIS Sunday!

This week is all about changing the way we care about the five core issue areas that negatively impact people with obesity:

  • Recognition: the way we care for obesity should be based on health and science, not stigma.
  • Weight Bias: obesity is not an appropriate measure for a person’s worth or abilities.
  • Access to Care: proven obesity treatments should be accessible and affordable for everyone.
  • Science-based Treatment: “eat less and move more” is not a magic cure for obesity.
  • Prevention: prevention programs should be science-based and improve health.

ABOUT OBESITY CARE WEEK:

Obesity Care Week is an annual public awareness event supported by more than 100 Champion health organizations and our official OCW Partners: Bronze - Eli Lilly; Patron - Endo Pharmaceuticals; Supporter - Boehringer Ingelheim, Celebrate Nutritional Supplements, Currax Pharmaceuticals, Fujifilm, Intuitive Surgical, and Rhythm Pharmaceuticals. OCW2022 Champions and Partners stand together to acknowledge obesity as a complex, chronic, recurring disease. Despite extensive research and studies, stigma and misperceptions continue to negatively shape the way people with obesity are treated medically and generally within society. OCW2022 will elevate the discussion on five key issue areas related to obesity: recognition as a disease; combatting weight bias and stigma; expanding access to care; treating obesity with science-based treatments; and expanding proven prevention programs. To learn more about Obesity Care Week and sign up for alerts visit ObesityCareWeek.org.

 Together, we can change the way we care about obesity!
