Our Impact
How we're making a difference
Obesity Canada is driving meaningful change in how obesity is understood, treated, and managed across the country. Our work is rooted in three core pillars—research, education, and advocacy—which together form a powerful cycle of progress.
Here’s how our work is creating real change across research, policy, and patient care.
Changing the conversation
We challenge weight bias and stigma by advocating for evidence-based, person-centered care.
Our campaigns, research, and policy efforts shift the narrative from blame to science, ensuring that obesity is recognized as a complex, chronic disease.
Advancing research & innovation
As Canada’s leading obesity organization, we support groundbreaking research that informs clinical guidelines, policy decisions, and real-world solutions.
We bridge the gap between science and practice, ensuring research translates into meaningful change.
Empowering patients & professionals
We equip healthcare professionals with the latest evidence and tools to provide compassionate, effective obesity care.
At the same time, we empower individuals with knowledge and resources to advocate for their health and challenge misconceptions.
From clinical guidelines to education programs, we are building capacity at every level.
Fostering collaboration
Obesity Canada brings together researchers, policymakers, healthcare providers, and individuals with lived experience to create a unified, evidence-based approach to obesity.
By working across sectors, we drive innovation, influence policy, and build stronger networks of support.
