Over 40% of American adults and about 20% of children are affected by obesity. This epidemic hits Black and Hispanic adults disproportionately and often leads to type 2 diabetes, heart disease and other comorbidities. How do we modernize health policy and practice to improve care for persons with obesity? What type of gold standard treatment guidelines need to be implemented?

Featuring:

  • Rep. Raul Ruiz, MD (D-CA), Co-Sponsor, Treat & Reduce Obesity Act
  • Rep. Brad Wenstrup (R-OH), Co-Sponsor, Treat & Reduce Obesity Act
  • Joseph Nadglowski, President & CEO, Obesity Action Coalition
  • Dr. Kavita Patel, Nonresident Fellow, Brookings Institution; Primary Care Physician
  • Fatima Cody Stanford, MD, MPA, MPH, Chair, Minority Affairs Section, American Medical Association
