The Surgeon General's Call To Action To Prevent and Decrease Overweight and Obesity
Vision for the Future
This Surgeon General’s Call To Action To Prevent and Decrease Overweight and
Obesity underscores the tremendous health impact that overweight and obesity
have on the United States. Through widespread action on the part of all
Americans, this Call To
Action aims to catalyze a process that will reduce the prevalence of overweight and
obesity on a nationwide scale. Without support and investment from a broad array of
public and private partners, these efforts will not succeed. With such support, however,
there exist few limitations on the potential of this effort to improve the health of
individuals, families, communities, and, ultimately, the Nation as a whole.
