What Participants Are Saying About The Symposium!
This symposium was a game-changer for diabetes care. Until now, we've had to translate and filter information in diabetes education for weight inclusivity. It was so nice to have an entire symposium steeped in research and approaches that focused on being weight inclusive. Thank you!

The WN4DC Symposium made me realize that we are on the cusp of a paradigm shift in how we care for people. I recommend this program to anyone working in healthcare who wants to grow as an empathetic, weight neutral provider.

The whole experience was excellent. I was especially impressed at the organization and how smoothly everything ran for a 'first annual' symposium! The marketing, technical aspects, etc. were all outstanding!
