TUE Health Care Report: Inner Haven Wellness expanding into Milwaukee 

From WisPolitics.com/WisBusiness.com …

— Inner Haven Wellness is expanding into the Milwaukee area, the eating disorder treatment provider announced today. 

Starting Jan. 5, the care provider will begin offering adult partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs at a facility in Brookfield. That’s in addition to its existing sites in Madison and Neenah. 

The company’s treatment model includes nutrition and behavioral therapy, medical monitoring and other offerings for adults with anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder and other conditions. 

Dr. Margherita Mascolo, CEO and chief medical officer for Inner Haven Wellness, says its approach aims to make clients feel “deeply understood and medically supported” as they seek treatment for eating disorders. 

“With this expansion, Inner Haven will serve the most populated region of Wisconsin with specialized eating disorder care, reaching adults, families, and providers who have been waiting too long for local options,” she said in a statement.
