Our unit, which has operating since 2006, admits girls and boys following a complete hospitalization in the eating disorders department. The goal of day hospitalization is to serve as a "bridge to life", both by maintaining the achievements of hospitalization and by facilitating patients reintegration into the community.
The day hospitalization comprises a diverse team of professionals, including doctors, psychologists, dieticians, a nurse, a clinical social worker, a movement therapist, a sports teacher, and instructors. Our team takes a holistic approach, creating a personalized and flexible treatment plan tailored to the needs of each patient and their family. This approach is supported by comprehensive research in the field of eating disorders, emphasizing the significance of the first year post-discharge from full hospitalization in predicting long-term recovery from an eating disorder.
