Introducing the MD Weight Neutral Providers Network
Supporting Marylanders in finding compassionate, weight-neutral, HAES-aligned healthcare providers.
Welcome.
We created this network out of a shared frustration with the barriers that we, and the clients we serve, face when trying to find mental and physical healthcare that is not rooted in weight stigma and fatphobia.
Our goal is to connect individuals with providers who are actively committed to delivering weight-neutral, Health at Every Size® (HAES)-aligned care. We seek providers who are continually working to reduce harm, challenge weight bias, and offer compassionate, evidence-informed care to people of all body sizes..
Our Values

“We need a world that insists upon safety and dignity for all of us—not because we are beautiful, healthy, blameless, exceptional, or beyond reproach, but because we are human beings.”
— Aubrey Gordon, What We Don't Talk About When We Talk About Fat
