Make Your Voice Heard

Do you know that very few federal dollars are allocated to address the problems of eating disorders? Did you know that insurance companies can deny access to care or limit the number of days reimbursed for services? Without adequate treatment, an individual's eating disorder worsens, sometimes leading to death.

The Renfrew Center Foundation is working with policy makers and our Action Network to implement changes in federal and state laws that will facilitate access to appropriate treatment and provide resources for the education, prevention and research of eating disorders.

Become a Member of The Renfrew Center Foundation's Action Network

Whether you write a letter, raise money, travel to Washington, or speak to your local legislators, we encourage you to join The Renfrew Center Foundation's Action Network to make our voices heard.

The Renfrew Center Foundation works with individuals, families, Renfrew alumni, and professionals engaged in education, advocacy, and fundraising efforts on a community and national level by providing e-mail updates and educational materials.

Part of a National Movement

The Renfrew Center Foundation is a founding organization and Board member of the Eating Disorders Coalition for Research, Policy & Action (The Coalition). The Coalition is a cooperative of nonprofit organizations dedicated to working on behalf of people with eating disorders, their families, and eating disorder professionals. The Coalition promotes, at the federal level, further investment in the healthy development of children and others at risk for eating disorders, recognition of eating disorders as a public health priority, and commitment to research-based prevention and treatment of eating disorders.
