Penn State Health Eating Disorder Program

Penn State Health's eating disorder program focuses specifically on children and adolescents, recognizing that eating disorders in young people require age-appropriate treatment. They offer intensive outpatient programs (IOP) for ongoing therapy and monitoring, partial hospitalization (PHP) for greater structure, and inpatient medical stabilization when teens are medically at risk. The pediatric-first approach means staff understand the developmental and family dynamics at play in adolescent eating disorders.

This program is ideal for families in Pennsylvania and surrounding areas whose teenager or preteen is struggling with an eating disorder. The focus on ages under 18 and the medical infrastructure of a major health system make it a solid choice for parents seeking specialized adolescent eating disorder care.
