"At a national level, we see a continued need for increased access to eating disorders treatment," explains Dr. Ken Weiner, Founding Partner and Chief Executive Officer of Eating Recovery Center.

"Eating Recovery Center's recent expansion allows us to keep that promise by increasing access to life-saving eating disorders treatment. We strive to provide enough capacity so that patients don't remain on long waiting lists and referring professionals don't have to delay in getting patients into treatment."

As with all of its facilities, Eating Recovery Center's newest location offers a healing, welcoming space for patients to treat their eating disorders with the support of an internationally-recognized, multidisciplinary team of clinicians.

Eating Recovery Center's expansion also supports the creation of new jobs in the Denver area. The initial opening of Eating Recovery Center's new facility resulted in approximately 20 new jobs and will result in approximately 40 additional jobs this Fall, as the facility begins treating more patients.
