11	12 Stigma, Bias, and Ba… Stigma, Bias, and Barriers to Care: Understanding Obesity as a Health Equity Issue September 12, 2023 @ 3:30 pm - 5:00 pm Tuesday, September 12, 10:30 am - 12:00 pm Recent data from the CDC has shown a drastic increase in the number of states where at least 35% of residents are affected by obesity, highlighting persistent disparities. Factors such as education, income, race, and environmental conditions play a significant role in influencing obesity rates. To combat these disparities and promote comprehensive strategies for obesity care, it is crucial to understand and tackle weight stigma and bias, even when unintended, as they adversely impact access to care and health outcomes. Join Novo Nordisk and the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce for an expert panel discussion focused on addressing the pressing issues impacting employee care in relation to obesity. Panelists will delve into the social and environmental factors that have contributed to disparities in obesity prevalence, giving participants valuable insights into coordinating and integrating a chronic care model to effectively support patients with obesity. https://www.chicagolandchamber.org/events/2023-09-12/18750/stigma-bias-and-barriers-to-care-understanding-obesity-as-a-health-equity-issue/ See more details •	13 AMAChicago: Connex, … AMAChicago: Connex, Networking for Marketers September 13, 2023 @ 11:00 pm - September 14, 2023 @ 1:00 am Catalyst Ranch, 656 W Randolph St, Chicago The Chicago chapter of the American Marketing Association hosts their networking series on the second Wednesday of every other month.
