A nonprofit organization wants to empower women to speak out about the need for obesity care with a new campaign.
Through the campaign, one of the Alliance for Women’s Health and Prevention’s goals is to offer coverage for comprehensive obesity care. Comprehensive obesity care includes medical nutrition, surgery and weight loss drugs.
About 33% of adults were obese in 2022, according to KFF, a nonprofit focused on health policy formerly known as the Kaiser Family Foundation. However, only 16 state Medicaid programs offer coverage for weight loss drugs, including Virginia.
