People living with obesity often face healthcare barriers that are easy to overlook but deeply impactful and in some cases life threatening. From equipment that does not fit all bodies to stigma that shapes care decisions, these issues can delay diagnosis, limit treatment options and affect outcomes. This Fresh Perspective panel highlights the problems and how healthcare spaces and systems can do better.

By bringing together research, lived experience and practical solutions, the conversation shows how more accessible and respectful care can support dignity, safety and equitable access for all patients.

Panel lineup includes:
Molly Hales, MD, PhD
Sharing new findings on barriers to specialty care and how they impact patient access

Angela Fitch, MD
Co-Founder of Knownwell Health and OAC Board Member discussing inclusive clinic design and practical steps for creating accessible care environments

Patty Nece, JD

Sarah Bramblette, MSHL
Sharing real experiences navigating physical and systemic barriers within healthcare settings

Moderator
James Zervios, OAC Vice President and COO
