Emily Program plans to open new office in Olympia

The Emily Program - a nationally recognized eating disorder treatment center- today announced plans to open a new office in Olympia, WA, its 3rd location in the Seattle area, 4th location in the Pacific Northwest. The Emily Program will offer multiple levels of care at its South Sound location including eating disorder assessments, intensive programming, individual, group and family therapy, nutritional counseling, holistic therapies and psychiatric and medical services.

The Emily Program also announced today that it will partner with Cleveland Center for Eating Disorders to become The Emily Program - Cleveland which will add another market to TEP's growing presence nationally.

"This is an exciting period of growth for The Emily Program. We are excited to expand our unique services in Seattle and be a part of the South Sound Community." says Jillian Lampert, Ph.D., M.P.H., R.D., L.D., F.A.E.D. and Senior Director, Business and Community Development at The Emily Program, 'The Emily Program is unique in that it offers complete medical care with a focus on individualized treatment and outpatient services. We help our patients realize that recovery is possible and one foundation of that recovery is our outpatient services because we live our lives as 'outpatients.'"

Recent estimates show that more than 250,000 people in Washington state suffer from varying types of issues - including anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder and compulsive overeating. "There is a need for more services than are currently available," continued Lampert. "The Emily Program is hoping to expand even more in the Pacific Northwest in the coming 18 months so that we might provide care for those still suffering."

Located at 673 Woodland Square Loop SE (Lacey), The Emily Program will begin to accept appointments for treatment at its South Sound location in April. Please call 888-EMILY-77 for more information or to be placed on a waiting list to schedule an appointment. The Emily Program's other locations in the Seattle area include the outpatient location on Westlake Avenue North and Neptune Lodging. We also have a location on East 29^th Avenue in Spokane, WA. The Emily Program also offers residential treatment in Minneapolis-St. Paul, MN. For more information, go to www.emilyprogram.com.
