Too often, people living with obesity feel unheard or misunderstood in healthcare settings. At OAC, we’re working to change that by supporting education that centers respect, understanding and evidence-based care. Aligning Patient, Care Partner and Provider Priorities for the Management of Obesity is an interactive, game-based program designed for clinicians, people living with obesity and their care partners—helping everyone learn, communicate and move forward together.
