The nation's leading authority on eating disorders, based right here in Philadelphia is celebrating 25 years.
The Renfrew Center's original facility was opened here in 1985:
"It was the first in the country exclusively devoted to treating eating disorders
Founder and president Sam Menaged says things certainly have changed, since Renfrew began twenty-five years ago:
"In 1985, when we opened there was no eating disorder field. Today, you can say there's a field. There are self help groups around the country, there are family foundations. There are lobby groups."
Renfrew has treated 55,000 women and now has facilities in nine states.
