OAC hosts Obesity Care Week to coincide with World Obesity Day
Obesity Action Coalition, the leading voice in obesity awareness in the USA, organised its annual Obesity Care Week coinciding with World Obesity Day.
Obesity Care Week (OCW) is an annual public awareness event that aims to change the way we care for and about obesity. This year, OCW hosted its 9th annual week-long event which was supported by 134 Champion organisations across the globe.
OCW2023 prioritised awareness, education and advocacy for people living with obesity.
Participants had the chance to take meaningful action to change the way we care for obesity by writing to local, state, and federal decision-makers urging them to prioritise obesity care and stop weight bias.
