Even in the age of new tools and resources, obesity remains a disease that's highly stigmatized - which can impede on adequate care. If you support improving how we care for people with this disease, please take a moment to sign the pledge for #ObesityCareWeek at https://lnkd.in/dHjF-MKs. If you're curious, here are the five guiding principles behind #ObesityCareWeek: ▪ Obesity is a chronic disease. ▪ Obesity is driven by powerful underlying biology, not choice. ▪ The health effects of excess weight can start early. ▪ Obesity is treatable. ▪ Weight bias, stigma, and discrimination are harmful.
