Bernadette Keenan

Bernadette is a committee member of the Irish Coalition for People Living with Obesity (ICPO).

Growing up in a household with the stark contrast of living with excess weight from age 3, with a brother who was underweight it was clear this was a complex issue. Having tried numerous treatments over the years, it was through patient support groups that Bernadette began advocating for more understanding of this chronic disease. Bernadette has a daughter who now sees similar issues, and as part of being a prominent ICPO advocate Bernadette is passionate to improve child and adolescent obesity.
