	They are a teaching hospital and a high-risk OB/GYN unit. They
	are *all* more health conscious than fat conscious -- especially
	if YOU say fat is not an issue. -- Anita

	The Fletcher Allen staff, doctors, nurses, and specialists were
	friendly, caring, and professional.  They DO NOT weigh their
	patients at all unless there is a reaction to medication. In
	fact, when I asked to be weighed (to see how much I gained from
	the meds), my doctor and attendant nurse looked at me all
	wide-eyed before reiterating that they don't weigh their
	patients.  It was quite cute, actually. When my late-onset
	Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS) kicked in and I gained
	30lbs in 48 hours, the care I received was exemplary. I was in
	a different part of the hospital, but was visited daily not only
	by doctors in RE/Infertilty/Ob-Gyn but was updated by residents
	in the department as well. Even the housekeeping and food
	services staff treated me wicked kind - I was, and continue to
	be, very impressed with the level of care. -- Orodemniades

	Self-referred 
	We are a residential facility which we describe as a women's
	retreat for healthy living without dieting. In operation since
	1973, we were a pioneer in the nondiet approach to health and
	weight management. Our focus is not on helping people make
	changes in body weight, but on helping them understand and adopt
	realistic, healthy lifestyles that promote health and
	well-being, regardless of size. We believe there is a wide range
	of healthy body size that is very dependent on the individual
	and cannot be reflected in "ideal" weight charts or BMI figures.
	We encourage positive body images and self-esteem independent of
	body size, and are a promoter of the Health at Any Size concept.
