Mercy offers the only comprehensive eating disorders program in Maine.
Staffed by experienced nurses, therapists, nutritionists, and physicians, the New England Eating Disorders Program offers a unique balance of treatment services to meet our client's needs. Family therapy is available as well, because support and education for family members is a critical component of treatment.
Our program was recently highlighted in Anthem's Network Update:
Spotlight: New England Eating Disorders Treatment Program Note from Steven Korn, M.D., Anthem Behavioral Health Medical Director, Northeast Region
"We’re spotlighting a regional treatment program for eating disorders, which we believe is a good example of an evidence-based, cost-effective approach to this complicated and challenging condition. When we find a local provider that offers what we consider to be state-of-the-art treatment right in our proverbial back yard, we want to share it with our network clinicians." To read more:
