The Impact of Weight Bias on Access to Care

About this Session:

Obesity is commonly misunderstood as a lifestyle choice rather than a chronic disease – and the media often perpetuates this problem by using stigmatizing images of people living with obesity. Join us as we bring attention to how the impact of weight bias and stigma extends beyond the headlines by hindering people’s ability to get the comprehensive care they need.
