6th Annual Akron Obesity Awareness Forum

The Many Facets of Obesity Treatment

Please join us for the 6th Annual Akron Obesity Awareness Forum on Friday, December 15, 2023. This event is a collaboration between the Summa Health Weight Management Institute and the Department of Surgery. The goal of the organizing committee is to provide continuing education to fill the gap that exists between current practices and the ever-evolving medical and surgical treatments of obesity. 

Each year, highly respected content experts are invited to share their expertise and knowledge regarding the various aspects of the multidisciplinary treatment options for this disease and its numerous associated conditions. This year, we are showcasing some of our local leaders in the field who will discuss current and pertinent issues pertaining to our field.
