The Obesity Association, a division of the American Diabetes Association® (ADA), aims to reduce the prevalence of obesity and improve health outcomes. To do this, we need a fresh perspective. Our communities must destigmatize and recognize obesity as the complex disease it is. By treating people with the understanding and support they deserve in their journey to better health, we can take the first crucial step in reducing its prevalence.
