The Obesity Society is committed to advancing policy changes that address the current epidemic of obesity. Our advocacy program has three leading objectives:
To assist in the development of programs designed to prevent obesity;
To ensure patients have access to quality medical care for obesity treatment;
To increase funding of obesity research.
To this end, The Obesity Society has worked with the United States Congress, the US Surgeon General, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, HMO's and others.
