DENVER, CO--(Marketwire - September 25, 2009) - Eating Recovery Center
(www.eatingrecoverycenter.com), the only behavioral hospital in Colorado
focused on comprehensive and sustainable treatment of eating disorders, was
honored as a "Champion in Health Care" by the Denver Business Journal at
the newspaper's annual awards ceremony last night. "Champions in Health
Care" annually awards eight organizations and individuals who have made an
impact on health care in the Denver community through their concern for
patients, their research and inventions, their management skills, their
innovative programs for employees and their service to the poor and
uninsured. Honorees are judged on their innovation, professional
accomplishment and community leadership. The newest eating disorder center in
Denver, Eating Recovery Center was awarded this honor in the small
health care/medical facility category.
"We founded Eating Recovery Center to fill a void in Denver eating
disorder treatment," explains Dr. Kenneth Weiner, medical director and
founding partner of Eating Recovery Center. "Adults challenged with
varying intensities of eating disorders in the Rocky Mountain region and
beyond now have access to a truly integrated treatment program that
cultivates lasting behavioral change and sustains long-term recovery,
despite the stage or severity of their disease."
The Center's October 2008 opening launched Colorado eating disorder
treatment to the forefront as unique in the country. Denver is now one
of the few cities in the U.S. where adults with severe eating disorders can
receive the full spectrum of recovery options under the supervision of
nationally recognized eating disorder experts.
"Eating Recovery Center sets itself apart with a committed team of
compassionate professionals," explains Weiner. "Our staff is made up of
professionals who are not only highly respected for their expertise in the
field, but are also real people who truly care about their patients and are
passionate about their lasting recovery."
Eating Recovery Center, now open in central Denver and accepting patients
from across the country, was founded by renowned experts Dr. Kenneth L.
Weiner and Dr. Emmett R. Bishop, who have separately founded numerous other
treatment centers throughout the country. Eating Recovery Center proves to
be the culmination of the two doctors' efforts and expertise.
