About Us

The Campaign to End Obesity is dedicated to reversing America's costliest medical condition. We convene leaders from industry, academia, public health and associations to advocate with one voice for federal policies that promote healthy weight in children and adults. We work with leaders from Congress and federal agencies as they consider laws and regulations to help reverse the obesity epidemic.

The nonprofit Campaign advocates for effective policy solutions at the federal level. It was established in 2007 following the first National Summit on Obesity policy.
