Weight of the Nation Video Clips Released

Kaiser Permanente joined HBO, the Institute of Medicine, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Institutes of Health and the Michael and Susan Dell foundation to produce The Weight of the Nation. Because of the interest this documentary on obesity has generated, they are now making these short video clips from the series available.

It is hoped that viewing and widely sharing this short film will trigger discussions and catalyze local actions to support obesity prevention and control efforts. The Weight of the Nation clips are a great way to get a dialogue started about the problem of obesity in Board Meetings, staff meetings, presentations, community events and policy forums. Please share these clips with those you feel may benefit.
