Donate to Melrose Center and give hope for healing

At Melrose Center, we empower patients to recover from eating disorders with outstanding medical, nutritional and psychological care that supports each individual – body and mind.

Your generous donations make it possible to deliver the highest-quality care to all patients, offer community outreach and education programs plus so much more.

When you give, you aren’t just making a donation. You’re helping every patient get the care they deserve.

Clare Susan Humphrey Memorial Endowment Fund

Help us reduce the economic barriers that prevent patients and families from getting the care they need. The donations to this fund go toward transportation vouchers, translation services, personal care items, hotel stays for out-of-town families and many other ways to help.

This fund was established by Alison and Andrew Humphrey in loving memory of their daughter Clare. She passed away in 2017 after a long struggle with eating disorders and depression. In honor of her extraordinary spirit, Clare’s Fund will help patients and their families access eating disorder services that would be otherwise unavailable to them.
