Obesity Action Coalition (OAC)

The Obesity Action Coalition is a U.S.-based nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of individuals affected by obesity.

Founded on the principles of education, advocacy, and support, OAC works to combat weight bias, promote evidence-based care, and empower patients to make informed health decisions. The organization provides resources and programs for patients, healthcare professionals, and policymakers, aiming to create a more understanding, equitable, and supportive environment for people living with obesity. OAC engages in public awareness campaigns, professional education, and advocacy initiatives that highlight the complexity of obesity as a chronic disease rather than a matter of personal choice. The coalition encourages healthy behaviors, access to appropriate treatment, and comprehensive support networks, while striving to reduce stigma in society and healthcare settings. By connecting patients with resources and opportunities for advocacy, OAC strengthens the obesity community, ensuring that those affected have a voice in the conversation about policies, healthcare delivery, and research priorities.
