Eating Disorder Treatment
Start the journey to recover from an eating disorder.
There are a number of things at KFMP that we do well.
Managing complex patients and chronic conditions is one of them. We look at the whole person and work with a team based model to improve your overall health and outlook on life.
Eating Disorders are one of the chronic and complex diagnosis that the doctors at KFMP can help you or your loved ones journey through. From diagnosis, to working on developing your village of team members to help you, to managing your good days and bad days. We can help to decide on the bad days what action needs to be taken, and on your good days we can celebrate your wins and look to the future. We are there for you, your family and loved ones.
