Our mission is to prevent and reduce obesity through programs that improve public health practice, inform policy, enable healthy lifestyles, and provide unparalleled professional opportunities for scholars working to improve the health of all Arkansans.
The Center for the Study of Obesity is an integral part of the UAMS Fay W. Boozman College of Public Health. The Center’s mission aligns with that of the College “to improve the health and well-being of individuals, families, and communities in Arkansas through education, research, and service.”
