We are focused on providing the most up-to-date,  evidence-based care for patients with obesity. We need to shift how we view obesity: it is a chronic disease that requires treatment.  

There is no "magic pill" for obesity, but within a multidisciplinary, long-term program, medication has been shown to be quite effective.
