Eating Disorders Program

The Eating Disorders Program at Children's Hospital Boston provides comprehensive evaluation and treatment to more than 200 adolescents every year with anorexia nervosa, bulimia and related eating disorders.

Staffed by specialists in adolescent medicine, psychiatry, psychology, social work and nutrition, the program addresses the medical, nutritional and psychological needs of each patient in order to effectively treat the eating disorder.


	In the Spotlight


		Get Real, Barbie! Last year, in recognition of the National Eating Disorders Awareness Week, Children's Center for Young Women's Health created this replica of what the Barbie doll's proportions would be if translated to an actual woman. Barbie stands 5 feet 9 inches with a 39-inch bust, 18-inch waist and size 3 shoe - an imbalance that would probably require her to walk on all fours!
