Obesity, diabetes war
This issue features Part 1 of a two-part series on how communities
can work together to help reduce the incidences of obesity and
diabetes.
For two years, the Philadelphia County Medical Society has
been an active member of Cities Changing Diabetes - Philadelphia,
a global program sponsored by Novo Nordisk that creates local
private/public partnerships with communities to understand
their unique obesity and diabetes challenges, identify areas and
populations at greatest risk and design and implement targeted
solutions. The program brings together medical and public health
institutions, communities of faith, employers, insurers and nonprofit
organizations.
Philadelphia Medicine asked two of our members involved in
Cities Changing Diabetes to share their perspectives about the
challenges of obesity prevention:
Ajay D. Rao, MD, MMSc, associate professor of medicine,
Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University Center for
Metabolic Disease Research.
Annette Gadegbeku, MD, associate professor, Department of
Family, Community & Preventative Medicine, assistant dean of
community health, Drexel University College of Medicine; associate
program director, DUCOM/Tower Health Family Medicine
Residency Program chief, division of community health.
Why is addressing obesity important? Read their answers in
this issue. *
Dr. Stephen Permut, president of the
Philadelphia County Medical
Society, works in the Temple
University Hospital family
medicine department.
