Advocacy Day 2026
Join EDC on April 15 from the comfort of your home to show Congress that advocates nationwide are united in making eating disorders a public health priority.
The Why
We are hosting our annual Advocacy Day to urge federal action that expands access to care and strengthens research and training for millions impacted by eating disorders.
NUTRITION CARE ACT (H.R. 2495/S.1971): This legislation would expand Medicare coverage to include Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) for individuals with eating disorders, addressing a critical gap in treatment options.
FISCAL YEAR 2027 FUNDING REQUESTS
$3 Million for the Eating Disorder Center of Excellence (ED-CoE) within SAMHSA to continue training clinicians with the SBIRT-ED.
$1 Million for research grants within HHS Office of Women’s Health to focus on early detection for women and girls.
