In the 1980's, the Division of Adolescent Medicine set out to address the growing incidence of eating disorders in its teen and adolescent populations. Under the leadership of Dr. Robert Masland, former Chief of Adolescent Medicine at Children's Hospital Boston, the Division began to offer help to young patients with these disorders. Social worker Lexie Eliot, psychiatrist Eugene Piazza, MD, and Joan Mansfield, MD, also helped develop this program.
Over the last 10 years, the Eating Disorders Program has become more formalized. And today, our medical, mental health and nutrition providers
see more than 200 new adolescent eating disorder patients every year.
