San Antonio Obesity Society | 2027 Inaugural Summit
Description
Obesity is a complex disease that requires a comprehensive approach to treatment. The San Antonio Obesity Society is proud to host its Inaugural Obesity Summit: Beyond the Scale: Advancing Obesity Care Across the Lifespan. San Antonio ranks 25th amongst cities in the U.S. with the highest prevalence of obesity and our neighbors around Texas are also struggling. The San Antonio Obesity Society is committed to raising awareness of the serious health risks individuals face when obesity is left untreated. We know that many healthcare providers feel overwhelmed and undertrained when it comes to the disease of obesity. The SAOS wants to help change that, one provider, one patient, one advocate at a time.
Join us for a day full of the latest science about what drives obesity and evidence-based treatment options ranging from nutrition and lifestyle, to advancements in pharmacotherapy options, minimally invasive procedures and bariatric surgery.
