1. URGE Your Legislators to Support TROA 

With your help, last year the Treat and Reduce Obesity Act (TROA) gained impressive momentum. A total of 170 members of Congress signed-on to support the legislation! As a reminder, TROA will provide Medicare beneficiaries with expanded and meaningful obesity treatment tools such as medication, behavioral counseling and others.

Now we are waiting for results of the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) score that Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA) requested in October, which will show the cost-effectiveness of TROA. While we wait for the CBO score, urge your state legislators to support TROA during the 2019-2020 Congressional Session if they aren't already! CLICK HERE to learn more.

2. SHARE Your Personal Perspectives

Use your voice to support someone affected by obesity or express yourself on a topic that is meaningful to you. You can do this by visiting the OAC's Weight of the World initiative or the OAC's online Member Discussion Forum. When you share your perspectives, you can inspire, motivate, teach and bring awareness to important issues in obesity.

3. DONATE and Support OAC Outreach

The OAC is striving for a record year of reaching people with quality obesity education and information on important issues. You can make a charitable gift to support OAC outreach through education, awareness campaigns, YWM2020 scholarships and more!
