Ten years ago, one politician stood up and said he could completely eliminate coverage of obesity treatments because there was no one to represent the individuals affected by this disease. Although more than 93 million Americans are impacted by obesity, they were overlooked, and no organization existed to stand for the individual with obesity. That all changed in 2005 with the creation of the Obesity Action Coalition.
Today, we’re a 50,000-member strong organization making an impact through our mission of education, advocacy and support. For the past decade, the OAC has been the leading organization standing up for individuals with obesity. As we share our journey with you, please join us in celebrating the OAC’s history, accomplishments, and future as together we build our momentum.
