Eating Disorders Coalition

We are the federal advocacy organization for eating disorders. Our mission is to advance the federal recognition of eating disorders as a public health priority.

Our Goals:

With more focused attention on educating and working with Congress,

we can effectively influence federal policy. Our specific goals are to:

• Raise awareness among policy makers and the public at large about the serious health risk posed by eating disorders

• Promote federal support for improved access to care

• Increase resources for research, education, prevention, and improved training

• Increase funding and support for scientific research on the etiology, prevention, and treatment of eating disorder

• Promote initiatives that support the healthy development of children

• Mobilize concerned citizens to advocate on behalf of people with eating disorders, their families, and professionals in the field
