Eating Disorder Hope, a respected independent resource for individuals suffering from anorexia, bulimia, binge eating and other body image and eating disorders, is poised for growth following a significant sponsorship commitment by Timberline Knolls Residential Treatment Center.
"Timberline Knolls' generous sponsorship will help us in our mission of promoting awareness, prevention and treatment in order to better educate sufferers, their loved ones and treatment providers," said Jacquelyn Ekern, MS, LPC, founder of Eating Disorder Hope. "Our website is rapidly becoming a leader in the online pro-recovery world. This additional support will strengthen our position as a powerful agent of pro-recovery lifestyles in an Internet still filled with too many voices promoting deadly pro-eating disorder lifestyles and behaviors."
Timberline Knolls, a private residential treatment center for women and girls ages 12 and up, has supported Eating Disorder Hope since 2006 and has recently committed to the role of sole Platinum Partnering Sponsor. The new partnership reflects Timberline Knolls Residential Treatment Center's ongoing support of organizations promoting a stronger pro-recovery community that inspires girls and women to embrace a lifestyle of health and well-being.
"Our entire team is very pleased to partner with Jacquelyn Ekern and Eating Disorder Hope, which is a crucial independent resource for all concerned with eating disorders," said Kimberly Dennis, MD, an eating disorder treatment expert and medical director at Timberline Knolls Residential Treatment Center. "We're excited to see Eating Disorder Hope reach more individuals and families in need of unbiased information on these diseases and treatment options. Eating disorders are deadly serious medical conditions, but lifelong recovery is possible with proper eating disorder treatment."
