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.
