Although the incidence of obesity in the United States continues to rise and the economic burden on our healthcare system is substantial, the treatment of obesity remains rare. Many challenges as well as opportunities exist in the primary care setting to enhance outcomes for patients with obesity. On behalf of OptumHealth Education, we invite you to participate in the educational series Obesity in America. These educational activities address the treatment options for managing patients with morbid obesity in the primary care setting.
