Veritas Collaborative Partners With Project HEAL to Make Large-Scale Commitment to Equitable Eating Disorder Treatment Access in Atlanta Excerpt from the press release: Veritas Collaborative, a specialty healthcare system for the treatment of eating disorders, and Project HEAL, the only major direct service nonprofit in the U.S. focused on equitable healthcare access for people with eating disorders, announced a new partnership designed to increase access to eating disorder treatment for individuals who are currently underrepresented in eating disorder treatment - particularly those who are low-income, underinsured, or marginalized. As part of this partnership, Veritas Collaborative will be providing free residential treatment to at least 12 Project HEAL beneficiaries per year who are low-income or facing extenuating financial circumstances, experiencing medical or social discrimination related to their identity or appearance, or don't currently have quality eating disorder treatment options through an insurance provider.
Accanto Health with brands The Emily Program and Veritas Collaborative hosted a successful In-Person Symposium in Atlanta, GA The Accanto Health Symposium: Beside and Beyond, was successfully held in-person in Atlanta, GA from September 14-16. The symposium, which was hosted virtually last year and continues in the tradition of the Veritas Collaborative annual symposium, gave us the opportunity to provide continuing education and build relationships with community providers. We hosted 180+ registrants from across the country who gave the event high marks for clinical content and speaker presentations. The symposium featured 11 live presentations from experts sharing research, practical insights, and clinical best practices related to eating disorder treatment. Sessions included in-depth presentations on specific types of eating disorders, treatment considerations for marginalized communities, and updates on federal policy. Healthcare providers attending the conference had the opportunity to earn up to 15 continuing education credit hours.
As Veritas Collaborative and The Emily Program continue to integrate under our parent company Accanto Health, we are so excited to now have a common Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Council. The EDI Council has been shaping our shared policies, procedures, and culture since our brands merged, and we feel it is time to introduce ourselves. The common questions and answers below provide an overview of the Council, its members, and its initiatives. When forming our integrated EDI Council, we launched an EDI-focused evaluation of current practices and policies, similar to one conducted by Veritas’ former EDI Council. We started with an organization-wide survey of both staff and patients to gather information. An external anti-racist consultant, Kenya Crawford, guided the design and administration of this survey and analyzed the information gathered. Additionally, Kenya held racial affinity groups, solicited anonymous feedback, and held stakeholder interviews. We are actively involved in incorporating this feedback into staff policies and patient-facing arenas.
