Roundtable on Obesity Solutions
Since 2014, the Roundtable on Obesity Solutions has been the only national, multisector convener bringing together a variety of voices with a shared and dedicated focus on obesity. Through meetings, workshops, publications, and Innovation Collaboratives, the Roundtable fosters ongoing dialogue on emerging science, evaluation, and innovation efforts in obesity prevention, treatment, and management for children and adults. The Roundtable explores and advances solutions at the systems level.
