In a recent interview with Healio, Monte Nido & Affiliates’ Chief Clinical Officer Melissa Orshan Spann, PhD, MBA, CEDS-C, discussed the significance of early detection of eating disorders, especially for primary care physicians (PCPs) and pediatricians. Dr. Spann emphasized the need for a non-discriminatory approach to discussing food and body image with patients, as eating disorders can impact anyone, especially with the increasing influence of social media. Our commitment to raising awareness about eating disorders and working toward their eradication is fundamental to our mission. PCPs and pediatricians play a crucial role in the early detection and thus a stronger fight for recovery for their patients.   Thank you to Healio for this opportunity to raise awareness.     Click here to read the interview: https://lnkd.in/geru6Amy  

We recognize International Women’s Day and all month we celebrate Women’s History Month. At Monte Nido & Affiliates, we see the compassion, insight, and drive that women bring to our programs every day. We celebrate all the women in our lives, and it is also an opportunity for us to express gratitude for the significant roles that women play in the mental health and eating disorder fields. I take pride in leading a company alongside many compassionate and influential women who inspire me daily. I value your unwavering dedication to eradicating eating disorders and wish you all a Happy International Women’s Day.
