Submitting Your Listing - In order to submit your listing to the locator, you will need to visit this link https://www.obesityaction.org/ocp-get-listed/ and complete the form. You must submit your email to be listed.
Multiple Practices - If you have multiple practice locations, you are able to have each of them listed, however, you will need to provide a unique email address for each listing. Essentially, you will complete the form multiple times with a different email each time for each practice location.
