A Diamond Year for the OMA
Honoring Our Legacy, Advancing the Future of Obesity Medicine
The Obesity Medicine Association (OMA) is celebrating 75 years of working to advance the prevention, treatment, and reversal of the disease of obesity. Join us in 2025 as we honor our history, embrace the present, and envision the future of obesity medicine. With inspiring events, retrospectives, and a spotlight on the milestones, we will celebrate the dedicated professionals who have helped shape the future of obesity treatment. Together, we’ll continue to innovate, advocate, and provide compassionate care to those impacted by obesity.
Since its inception in 1950, the OMA has been a champion for education and advancement in obesity medicine. As we celebrate this milestone year, it is important to reflect on the pivotal moments in our history and our growth into the largest organization of physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other health care providers working to improve the lives of patients affected by obesity.
