The Role of Health
Care Providers
• You must discuss with your patients the
relationship of their weight issues and the medical
co-morbidities for which you are treating them.
• If you cannot offer them a comprehensive solution,
refer them to other specialists for a
multidisciplinary approach.
• BECOME PROACTIVE in CREATING HEALTH
and not just treating disease
Conclusion
• The obesity epidemic is contributing to increasing
medical costs and increasing morbidity/mortality of
Americans
• The Military is losing people that they have invested
millions of dollars in.
• Recruitment is challenged by the obesity epidemic in the
general population.
• Americans are spending billions of dollars on weight loss
efforts that are often not safe and not effective in the long
term
• We, as health care providers and patient advocates,
MUST become more involved.
