CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — A groundbreaking clinic dedicated to helping individuals with eating disorders has officially opened its doors in Central Illinois, marking a significant development in the region’s healthcare landscape.

The KC Eating Disorder Clinic, located in Champaign, celebrated its grand opening last week. Already, it has begun providing essential services to clients, thanks to a team of experienced psychologists and dieticians. CEO Kaitlyn Cornell emphasized the clinic’s unique status, noting that it is the only facility of its kind in Illinois outside of the Chicago area, focusing exclusively on treating eating disorders.

Cornell highlighted the clinic’s importance, explaining that eating disorders are often overlooked by other healthcare providers. “Typically, doctors aren’t asking detailed questions about your eating habits, such as a 24-hour food recall or whether you’re engaging in purging behaviors,” she explained. “They don’t usually explore your emotional relationship with food. That’s why consulting with a mental health professional can be crucial for addressing these issues effectively.”

“Your doctor is not necessarily asking you, ‘Give me a 24-hour recall of what you just ate. Are you engaging in any purging behaviors? Do you feel fear around food? Do you have any type of feelings for food? How is your relationship with food?’ They’re not typically asking those questions,” Cornell said. “That’s why asking a mental health professional is really the best person to ask.”

The clinic offers an intensive outpatient program, offering individual psychotherapy, medication management and nutrition support.
