That’s exactly what National Obesity Care Week—an annual campaign to advance evidence-based understanding of obesity and widespread access to respectful, comprehensive, and appropriate care—aims to do. Now in its third year running in tandem with ObesityWeek, National Obesity Care Week (Oct. 29 – Nov. 4) provides an important opportunity for you to help our nation “change the way we care” about obesity. In support of National Obesity Care Week 2017, I encourage you to review the 5 Reasons to Care (below) and to join me in completing the Take 5 Pledge. In doing so, you commit to playing a role in improving the way health professionals – and, more broadly, our culture – treat obesity and those affected by it. As health professionals we must be knowledgeable about obesity treatment.
