The Obesity Action Coalition (OAC) is a National non-profit dedicated to improving the lives of those with obesity through education, advocacy & support.
Obesity is a complex chronic disease. Fat-shaming & weight bias have no place here or anywhere. At OAC, we stand for dignity, respect and access to evidence-based obesity treatment. Let’s end weight bias and ensure equitable care for all.
Tomorrow, join OAC and the Obesity Association, a division of the @ADA_DiabetesPro for an important conversation about weight bias, stigma and obesity care. Discover practical approaches that can help build trust and create more welcoming healthcare experiences for people living with obesity.
📅 Tomorrow | 4:00-5:00 p.m. ET

Living with obesity should never mean carrying the weight of judgment or stigma. Your well-being matters, and you deserve kindness, support and understanding.
