What is HAES® Practice in a Healthcare Setting?

Recognizing bias and how weight stigma is harmful.
Size and Weight Neutrality: Refraining from making assumptions about a person’s health based solely on their weight or size.
Assumption-free: We cannot assume people’s exercise and eating habits based on their size. There are so many complex factors that determine a person’s weight and size. Reducing this to exercise and eating is too simplistic.
Accessibility for larger-bodied people, including comfortable chairs in the doctor’s office, size-appropriate medical equipment, size-appropriate gowns, and private weighing rooms, among other things.

As HAES® dietitian nutritionists, we provide online and in-person presentations to medical personnel to help them improve the care they give to everyBODY. We tailor our presentations to your organization’s unique needs with the goal of giving your healthcare team the tools they need to provide compassionate care for the patients you serve.
