Policy Alone Isn’t Enough
While policy and environmental changes are important, they are not treatments for people with severe obesity. We need a comprehensive approach that includes prevention, treatment, and long-term management to improve health outcomes

A compassionate, stigma-free healthcare environment encourages patients to seek and continue treatment for obesity. When people feel respected and supported, they are more likely to return for the care they need.
