  • Summary

  • Co-founder and Chief Medical Officer at Knownwell, Dr. Angela Fitch discusses the importance of recognizing obesity as a chronic disease, the insurance barriers surrounding access to medication for patients and how the Treat and Reduce Obesity Act (TROA) could solve the approach to treatment across the nation. Would the passing of TROA eliminate the issues surrounding a carve-out insurance plan? What will the continuation of selling compounded versions of the patented weight loss drugs mean when shortages end? Dr. Fitch, who is board certified in internal medicine, pediatrics and obesity medicine walks us through the challenges in obesity care for clinicians and patients alike and how she hopes to implement change.
