The Association for Size Diversity and Health is an international professional organization committed to the principles of Health At Every Size (HAES). We wanted to recognize and commend your effort in sharing the HAES approach to health and wellness.

Emerging research confirms that taking care of oneself without pursuing weight loss leads to better long-term health. We are seeing empirical documentation of the health impact from stigma and discrimination toward larger people and the deleterious effects of medical bias and barriers to care for people with higher BMIs. As professionals from diverse disciplines we recognized the need for a weight-neutral approach to addressing health issues for people across the weight spectrum.

We encourage you to explore our website at http://www.sizediversityandhealth.org. If we can be a resource to you for future exploration of the HAES paradigm, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Sincerely,

Deb Lemire, President
