Regaining health and life – free of eating disorders

About 11 million Americans suffer from eating disorders. Because shame and denial often accompany these conditions, many cases go undiagnosed and untreated. Park Nicollet Melrose Institute (formerly Methodist Hospital Eating Disorders Institute) helps those who have eating disorders regain the life they had. Eating disorders and their treatment by our experts are featured in May’s Stay Healthy Minnesota.
