In this video, I talk to Melanie Jay about how we can improve obesity care in the United States. She discusses her research and some of the dynamics associated with addressing obesity at scale.
Melanie's work focuses on measuring outcomes and increasing access to effective obesity treatments, addressing health disparities, and reshaping how we approach obesity in medicine and policy. She leads the NYU Langone Comprehensive Program on Obesity, directs research collaborations within the Division of General Internal Medicine, and co-directs a new VA Center for Innovation to improve cancer care, recognizing obesity’s critical role in outcomes. Her research, funded by the NIH and VA, has been featured in top journals and national media, including Oprah Daily, The New York Times, The Today Show, and CBS News.
