AfPA’s Obesity Initiative is a network of policy-minded health care providers who advocate for patient-centered care.

The Obesity Initiative is a unique network for clinicians who treat obesity and are interested in further shaping policies that support the clinician-patient relationship, limit abusive insurance policies, and empower patient and acknowledge their individual needs.
