Obesity is the underlying cause of hundreds of health issues in women, yet is often seen as a character flaw, or completely overlooked within healthcare offerings. Employers have the power to change this damaging narrative.
The Alliance for Women’s Health and Prevention’s recently launched campaign, EveryBODY Covered, aims to change people’s often negative impression of obesity to ensure it’s an essential part of women’s healthcare. Partnered with some of the leading organizations in women’s wellness, the campaign promotes education and advocacy on the impacts of obesity to encourage employers, insurers and lawmakers to make comprehensive obesity care standard practice.
