Our registered dietitians provide specialized nutritional rehabilitation, while our psychiatric providers oversee diagnostic clarity and medication management. Supported by attentive nursing staff and a small census, each patient receives truly individualized care delivered by a multidisciplinary team that knows them well and works collaboratively to support meaningful, lasting recovery.

Medical Stabilization & Ongoing Monitoring
At Remedy Therapy Center for Eating Disorders, medical care is overseen by a highly experienced team led by our Medical Director, Director of Nursing, and a group of nurse practitioners, physician assistants, registered nurses, and consulting physicians specializing in eating disorders and behavioral health. Our priority is to ensure medical safety, restore physical stability, and support each client’s ability to fully participate in therapeutic treatment.
Getting StartedInitial Medical Evaluation
Every client begins treatment with a comprehensive medical and psychiatric evaluation to identify medical risks related to malnutrition, restriction, purging behaviors, dehydration, and electrolyte imbalance.
Our admission assessment includes:
- \Full vital signs & orthostatic measurements
- \Height, weight, BMI
- \12-lead EKG to assess cardiac status using state-of-the-art equipment
- \Laboratory studies evaluating hydration, electrolytes, liver and kidney function, thyroid health, and key nutritional markers
- \A complete head-to-toe medical and nursing assessment
This exam is completed by a licensed medical provider—typically an RN, NP, or PA—and reviewed by the Medical Director. A personalized medical plan is created within the first 24 hours of admission to ensure immediate safety and stabilization.
Development of the Medical Plan
Each client’s medical plan is developed collaboratively by our Medical Director, Director of Nursing, Nurse Practitioner, Registered Dietitian, and Clinical Director. This multidisciplinary process ensures that medical, nutritional, and psychological needs are integrated into one cohesive approach.
Key components include:
- Safe refeeding and nutritional stabilization protocols to restore metabolic balance
- Electrolyte monitoring and replacement guided by labs and clinical presentation
- Cardiac and vital-sign monitoring to identify early signs of instability or refeeding syndrome
- Individualized, medically safe weight restoration goals
- Ongoing communication between medical and clinical teams for consistent, coordinated care
Plans are reviewed daily during medical rounds and adjusted based on clinical progress.
Ongoing Medical Management
Once stabilization begins, our medical and nursing teams provide continuous monitoring and compassionate support throughout the client’s stay.
Our approach includes:
- Multiple daily vital signs and orthostatic checks, depending on acuity
- Supportive, non-triggering weight checks at clinically appropriate intervals
- Routine lab work to monitor electrolytes, blood counts, and organ function
- At least twice-weekly treatment team/medical rounds
- 24-hour on-site nursing coverage for timely intervention and assessment
Our team is trained in identifying and managing common eating disorder-related complications, including bradycardia, hypotension, refeeding syndrome, osteoporosis, gastroparesis, and more. The Director of Nursing coordinates closely with the Medical Director and Director of Nutrition to ensure care aligns with national standards and best practices.
OurCommitment
Our medical philosophy is rooted in safety, compassion, and collaboration. We believe that medical stabilization is not simply a prerequisite—it is the foundation for meaningful therapeutic, nutritional, and emotional recovery. By restoring physical health and safety first, clients are empowered to fully engage in the deeper healing work ahead.
