Nutrition, Eating Disorders & Family-Centered Care

January is Physical Health and Nutrition Month at Teen Health Connection. Nutrition plays a vital role in adolescent health—and when challenges arise, families deserve support every step of the way.

At Teen Health Connection’s Center for Disordered Eating, we care for adolescents ages 10–18 using a compassionate, multidisciplinary approach. Our team includes adolescent medicine physicians, nurses, nurse practitioners, a registered dietitian, behavioral health therapists, and clinical support staff—all working together to create individualized treatment plans.
Families are an essential part of recovery, and caregivers are actively involved through clear communication, guidance, and ongoing support.

Healing happens when care is personal, coordinated, and compassionate.
