Mission Statement
We are a small non-profit organization dedicated to providing referral information and treatment to people suffering from eating disorders, referral information and training to professionals working with those struggling with eating disorders, and providing prevention efforts to help decrease the outbreak of eating disorders.
Description
We are an organization comprised of health and mental health professionals from all around the SF Bay Area, we also have a low-fee, sliding scale clinic that treats eating disorders for people who have low income, no insurance, and/or for people who wish to receive specialized treatment from professionals with particular expertise with this population.
We are looking to enlarge our Board of Directors to include people who have expertise beyond our expertise. We particularly are looking for physicians and psychiatrists willing to reach out to their professional communities to try to interest more MDs in learning about and becoming willing to treat eating disorders (we are not finding enough providers in these two categories, especially).
Secondly, we are looking for individuals with areas of expertise in other fields -- beyond what we have -- such as people who have expertise in Marketing, Tax prep, Grant-writing and fund-raising, Web design, business development, and so forth.
