Mission
To provide a path to renewed health for those seeking recovery from all forms of eating disorders through professional resource referrals, educational training and a supportive community.
Background
Founded in 2002, Renewed (formerly known as the Eating Disorders Coalition of Tennessee) is the Southeast's first statewide nonprofit to advance eating disorder education, prevention and treatment. Co-founders Ovidio Bermudez, MD, and Reba Sloan, MPH, LRD, FAED joined with concerned community members and treatment professionals to form the organization. Today, the organization has become a critical resource for one-on-one treatment referrals and a supportive community for all those effected directly or indirectly. Renewed also offers clinician training for those on the front-lines of treating eating disorders. Always serving with compassion and respect, we continue to grow as a resource for those facing any type of eating disorder challenge and body image concerns. We are dedicated to inspire courage for today, trust in recovery and hope for a renewed tomorrow. All services are offered free of charge.
Impact
We are currently focusing our efforts on the following goals to grow our impact: Increase awareness of Renewed as the 'go-to' organization for eating disorder support and treatment resources. Educate community personnel and clinicians on the early recognition and timely intervention of eating disorders. Expand Renewed's support programs to new clients and geographic locations. Increase treatment accessibility for individuals struggling with eating disorders. Grow infrastructure, revenue, and staff to adequately meet the needs of the above goals.
