Our Mission

The Wisconsin Obesity Society was founded with the mission of bringing together healthcare providers committed to addressing the challenges of obesity. We envision a future where obesity is tackled through a collaborative, holistic approach, leading to healthier communities and improved quality of life.

Core Principles

Our organization focuses on two key areas: education and awareness, and collaboration and networking. We are dedicated to raising awareness about obesity and providing evidence-based education to healthcare professionals, patients, and the general public. Through partnership, we aim to accelerate advancements in obesity management, promoting interdisciplinary approaches and meaningful connections among practitioners, researchers, policymakers, and organizations.

We prioritize quality and evidence-based practices in obesity management, supporting personalized and comprehensive care. We aim to actively engage with policymakers and stakeholders to address societal challenges associated with obesity.

At the Wisconsin Obesity Society, research and innovation are encouraged to enhance understanding, discover new treatment modalities, and improve outcomes. We adopt a patient-centered approach, ensuring individuals affected by obesity are treated with respect, empathy, and dignity, considering their unique challenges and aspirations. Lastly, we create an inclusive environment that values and respects individuals from diverse backgrounds and experiences.

The Wisconsin Obesity Society aims to contribute to a society that values health, well-being, and equitable access to quality obesity care. Through our unwavering commitment to these core principles, we hope to make a lasting difference in the lives of individuals, families, and the community.
