Welcome to Summit

At Summit, our goal is to help patients and their families experience the freedom of recovery, enhance understanding and awareness of eating disorders and encourage prevention, treatment and lasting recovery.

Summit is a Joint Commission-accredited center for eating disorders treatment and prevention based in Sacramento, California. Founded in 2000, Summit's medically-supervised treatment programs serve both adolescents and adults with anorexia, bulimia and binge eating disorder. A multidisciplinary team of professionals oversees outpatient levels of care, including a seven day-per-week Partial Hospitalization Program, an Intensive Outpatient Program and flexible outpatient programming in Sacramento, as well as Intensive Outpatient and flexible outpatient programs in Fresno and Roseville.
