Description (Service)

Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre (RVH) and Orillia Soldiers' Memorial Hospital (OSMH) have partnered to launch the Simcoe Muskoka Regional Eating Disorder Program (SMREDP). This joint initiative aims to:

create new pathways in treatment
enhance existing programming
decrease hospital admission rates
provide high quality evidence-based care
centralize services to improve access for patients and their families
pre-treatment phase offers families support prior to receiving treatment

Expansion of the program allows for a continued treatment journey for a population of youth that have never had access to these specialized services. It will also help to manage long wait lists and ensure patients become connected to the appropriate services in a timely manner.

Program offers:

self-esteem
symptom reduction
nutritional education
stress management
body image
communication
relationship management
medical evaluation and monitoring
family support
