Together, we are driving change for millions of people with obesity through education, advancements in obesity care, and community engagement. Novo Nordisk thanks you for your partnership.
Changing the way obesity is managed
For decades, Novo Nordisk has been committed to innovation to help people with obesity.
IN THE 1960s, our commitment to people living with obesity began.1
SINCE THE MID-1990s, we at Novo Nordisk have established ourselves as a leader in the fight for better obesity care.1
IN 2018, we supported the ACTION (Awareness, Care, and Treatment In Obesity Management) study, the first to explore the barriers and beliefs of obesity care from the differing perspectives of people with obesity, health care providers, and employers.2
TODAY AND BEYOND, we aim to bridge the gap between treating obesity and addressing its complications.
Modernizing the way we think about obesity
Rethink Obesity® is designed to provide health care professionals with access to helpful information on obesity patient care.

Impacting our communities through a holistic approach to obesity
Novo Nordisk partners with organizations that share our mission of reducing the burden of chronic disease in communities across the country.
Through partnerships with community-based organizations, we are focused on bolstering obesity prevention by increasing nutrition education, as well as access to distribution, and consumption of healthy foods. The goal is to support community-based activities that promote health and wellness.
Thank you for helping us confront the obesity epidemic head-on. Our work has only just begun.
