For access and improvement of care in the treatment of obesity

The primary mission of the Ronald-Denis Foundation is to ensure that patients suffering from obesity are treated as quickly as possible. The Foundation also advocates improving care in the treatment of obesity by promoting an interdisciplinary and integrated approach. Like all serious illnesses, obesity severely affects the human condition. It can also be a powerful indicator of the greatness of soul and the resilience of those who are confronted with it, directly or indirectly.
