By creating an inclusive environment, we can build a better world free of weight bias. Every patient deserves to be treated with dignity and respect — from the moment they walk in the door to the second they walk out. - Joe Naglowski, @ObesityAction medicaleconomics.com/view/st…

The estimates are that 99% of people who are living with #obesity are not being treated for it… As many others have said before me- Would that be acceptable for any other #disease? @visitobecity @PBRCNews @PBRFoundation @LSUHealthNOBRC @HealthyBR @PSchauerMD @NeilFlochMD
