"I have seen firsthand what an organization like Oklahoma Eating
Disorders Association (OEDA) can do for a community. OEDA will not
only improve access to care and elevate treatment standards for eating
disorders, but it will also prevent some people from ever developing
the illness in the first place. OEDA will save lives throughout
Oklahoma and surrounding areas."
