@ObesitySociety Great job Katherine.

We urge @ChuckGrassley to cosponsor #TROA and improve access to life-changing obesity treatments for Medicare beneficiaries in Iowa and beyond. Read more on why this bipartisan bill is crucial for patients living with obesity in @TelegraphHerald: bit.ly/3YAusUU

After catching my breadth after ObesityWeek, I'm off to Seattle to attend the annual meeting of the Gerontological Society of America and participate as a panelist in a session entitled "Seven Strategies for Quality Obesity Care for Older Adults".

Ready to head to Capital Hill for a day of advocacy for access to care for people living with obesity. #WorldObesityDay #ObesityCareWeek #TheObesitySociety

Today marks the start of #ObesityCareWeek and dozens of advocates have converged on the U.S. Capitol to press for better access to #ObesityCare. Pretending to save money by denying care is delusional. #WOD2024 @ObesityAction @ObesitySociety conscienhealth.org/2024/03/preten…

#ObesityCareWeek 2024 starts tomorrow - and our advocates are urging Congress to Support #TROA for enhanced Medicare Coverage to make access to #obesity care available to all Older Americans. Read more here: bnnbreaking.com/breaking-news/…

📣 Obesity Care Week is Here! March 4th - 8th. During #ObesityCareWeek and #WorldObesityDay, we are raising awareness of the 5 Principles of Obesity! We encourage everyone to visit obesitycareweek.org to learn more, take action and SIGN THE PLEDGE! ✍🏼
