Society Advocates for Obesity and Women’s Health at AMA Annual Meeting
In June, the American Medical Association (AMA) House of Delegates met in Chicago to establish policy positions on topics of importance to healthcare providers and patients. Endocrine Society delegates Naykky Singh Ospina, MD, Amanda Bell, MD, and Daniel Spratt, MD, (pictured above, left to right) attended the meeting to represent the Endocrine Society and advocate for issues important to endocrinology.
During the meeting, the Society supported resolutions focused on obesity and women’s health. We cosponsored a resolution addressing parity in access to evidence-based obesity treatment. The resolution advocated for insurance parity for surgery, drugs, and therapy within obesity care.
The AMA House of Delegates, which is the legislative and policy-making body of the AMA, meets twice a year to consider changes to AMA policy. We thank our delegates for attending the AMA meeting and representing the Society.
