Obesity Care Resources You Need
The Obesity Association's Standards of Care in Overweight and Obesity recognizes obesity as a chronic disease in the same league as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and kidney disease.
As such, obesity care should follow the same person-centered, multifaceted approach—including a combination of lifestyle changes, medication, emotional support, and surgery. This allows those living with obesity to make an informed decision about what is best for their health.
Determining the individualized care for the people you see begins with finding the resources you need. We want to strengthen that relationship and provide the resources, tools, and support that’s needed to deliver person-centric care.
