Preventing and Addressing Obesity

For both children and adults, good health is essential for success in life. Obesity is a chronic disease that can affect many aspects of a person’s health and well-being. Despite a high prevalence of obesity in Marion County, access to and utilization of evidence-based treatment for the disease remains low. Obesity increases the risk of serious health conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, and certain cancers, while also reducing quality of life and contributing to higher healthcare costs.
