For more than 20 years, Research Medical Center’s VITA Eating Disorders Program has provided a premium standard of care for individuals suffering from anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and other eating disorders. VITA specializes in inpatient and day treatment eating disorder programs, and offers one of the few inpatient medical programs in the nation.

At VITA, healing takes place in a JCAHO-accredited state-of-the-art medical facility with access to Research Medical Center’s medical and ancillary services, physician specialists, laboratory, and radiology services, many of which are not available in other residential programs. Individuals come to our facility from all over the United States because of the rare comprehensive care we offer. In order to provide the best care for our clients, our program currently has a full-time medical director, dietitian, expressive therapist, 2 full-time therapists, and around-the-clock nursing care. VITA has an extremely high success rate: 50 to 80 percent of our clients successfully continue their recovery in outpatient care and do not need further inpatient treatment.
