If you or someone you know are suffering from an eating disorder, you deserve appropriate treatment. The National Eating Disorders Association announced the Discovery Scholarship Program, established by the Center for Discovery. This generous scholarship can help cover the cost of imperative, life-saving care.

"In the spirit of giving, and in honor of the thousands of people who have allowed us to participate in their journey to recovery, Center For Discovery is proud to announce the Discovery Scholarship Program.

In 2015, Center For Discovery gave away $842,000 in treatment scholarships and $672,000 in 2014. Center For Discovery offers full and partial scholarships for clients and families that are unable to afford the costs associated with specialized eating disorder treatment. Center For Discovery offers scholarships on an ongoing basis for residential, partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient treatment."

Nutrition Label Makeover Alert! It's been 20 years since the FDA last revised it. The nutrition label is found on majority of our food products and show the nutritional content of our foods.

New label will display the following changes:

1) Calorie count in a bigger font

2) Added sugars, aka "empty calories", will be a new column

3) Serving sizes will be changed to reflect how people really eat vs. what the recommended portion is (ie: old label - serving size of soda 8oz., new label - serving size changed to 12oz.)

The intent of the revised label is to manage calorie intake, consume less sugar, and eat healthier.
