Obesity Care Takes a Team! 

People with obesity too often do not seek the care that could help them in their journey to improved health for many reasons: stigma or shame, past negative experiences, or misunderstanding about the complexity of the disease. Obesity is a disease that requires treatment, just like any other disease or illness. Today, OAC, as a part of Obesity Care Week 2023, shines a spotlight on obesity treatment and the important role that different treatment options offer to people struggling with obesity
