Nationwide Children's Hospital Eating Disorders Program
In March 2009, the Section of Adolescent Health launched the multidisciplinary Nationwide Children’s Hospital Eating Disorders program, which provides eating disorder assessment and treatment services in the outpatient setting. The program includes staff in medicine, psychology, social work, nursing and nutrition, with additional linkages to occupational therapy, massage therapy and recreational therapy. The program emphasizes care for adolescents with eating disorders and includes younger children on a case-by-case basis. The team also provides inpatient care for those adolescents requiring medical stabilization.
