Arizona Obesity Collaborative

Coming together to improve the state of obesity in Arizona

Mission

The Arizona Obesity Collaborative is a statewide group of concerned professionals and community members dedicated to improving the disease state of obesity through education, advocacy, and meaningful policy changes in the medical, community, payor, employer and political fields.

Vision

We envision medical, community, insurance, and political influencers working together in synchrony to improve the quality of life for those affected by obesity. We can envision a world with no stigma or bias against obesity. We believe we can achieve a state where rates of obesity are drastically reduced through effective prevention and treatment strategies, guided by legitimate medical science (evidence-based care). We believe we can unify key stakeholders to unify and achieve great change in the current state of obesity in Arizona.

How It Works

We are calling for anyone interested to join this effort. We will be coming together to target the four areas outlined in our mission--educational efforts, community improvement, advocacy with employer and payer policies, and political policy. If you have expertise that can contribute to these areas, please consider applying to join. We will divide into workgroups for each of these areas and meet regularly to start planning our advocacy efforts.
