Our Story
Led by a group of volunteer board members, we seek to educate, advocate and train Iowans to better understand and treat eating disorders.
The experience of having an eating disorder and supporting a loved one with an eating disorder is a complex, painful, costly and, at times, deadly experience. Too many Iowa lives have been impacted by disordered eating. EDCI was founded in 2010 with the hopes of providing timely, informed and helpful information to assist those who are currently struggling, recovered or supporting an individual with disordered eating. We hope to empower and educate providers to provide the best quality care to the citizens of Iowa.

EDCI is proud to host a number of professional learning opportunities. Continuing education is available at our biannual fall conference, Eating Disorder Awareness Week events and lunch and learn events. Onsite or virtual training for organizations and healthcare clinics is also available.
