ST. LOUIS, Feb. 20 /PRNewswire/ — For the past 27 years, Deborah Kuehnel, founder of The Eating Disorder Recovery Center in St. Louis, Missouri, has specialized in the treatment of eating disorders. Due to our growth, the EDRC announces the establishment of a not-for-profit foundation. The board of directors has chosen the name to be Eating Disorder Recovery Foundation.The Eating Disorder Recovery Foundation’s mission is to financially assist individuals with eating disorders, and their family members, to attain treatment. Assistance is needed because individuals and families are overwhelmed by the exorbitant cost for treatment by private facilities. The average cost for treatment at a private facility is between thirty and fifty thousand dollars per month. Most insurance companies will only cover a small portion of these charges.

One of our objectives is to obtain funding and members to further our mission. Our board of directors has chosen the “Flip Flop” as the symbol for recovery. The Flip Flop signifies recovery as a “one step at a time” process. Our initial emersion into the funding process has been the creation of the “Flip Flop” shop at www.edrecover.com. The success has allowed us to provide support on YouTube, Facebook, and MySpace.
