The Ohio Academy of Family Physicians (OAFP) is excited to announce its newest Partner in Health, Novo Nordisk!
“Novo Nordisk is a global healthcare company with almost 100 years of innovation and leadership in diabetes care. This heritage has given us experience and capabilities that also enable us to help people defeat other serious chronic conditions including obesity, hemophilia, and growth disorders. We will always choose what is best for the patient and consider how our actions may impact people, communities, and the environment.
“Obesity is a chronic disease that leads to many other weight-related diseases. When it comes to our weight, genetics, biology, and the environment all play a role. We’re committed to improving the lives of people with obesity by collaborating with the community on education and advocacy, increasing access to care, and advancing medical management. Together with our partners, we are changing how the world sees, prevents, and treats obesity.
“In the last half century, rates of diabetes have skyrocketed around the world. Today, hundreds of millions of people are living with the disease, putting a strain on individuals, families, and our healthcare systems. We are committed to driving change to improve treatment options for people living with diabetes – from more effective medicines to better delivery systems that make management simpler and more convenient.
“For more information and services for you, education and support for your patients—across all of our therapy areas, visit the Novo Nordisk website.”
