Addressing Eating Disorders
The Eating Disorders Program at Seattle Children’s provides a variety of services for teens — and their families — who need treatment for anorexia nervosa, bulimia and other eating disorders.
The program, directed by Cora Collette Breuner, MD, MPH, of Adolescent Medicine and Rose Calderon, PhD, of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health, provides treatment that is developmentally appropriate for each patient and their family. The program offers inpatient or outpatient treatment, including medical and psychiatric care as well as nutrition counseling. A team approach focuses on providing information, reviewing treatment options, and developing and implementing a plan of action. Staff will also facilitate consultations with other specialties.
Referrals can be made through the psychiatry intake line at (206) 987-3560 or through Adolescent Medicine at (206) 987-2028. Referral guidelines can be found on the Medical Staff Web site.
For consultations, call Dr. Calderon at (206) 987-3886 or the Adolescent Medicine provider on call through the hospital operator at (206) 987-7777. Educational resources for patients and families are also available online.
