MIAMI, June 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Monte Nido & Affiliates - the nation's leading provider of eating disorder treatment for over two decades - announces the appointment of Melissa Orshan Spann, LMHC, PhD, CEDS-S as the company's Chief Clinical Officer. In this role, Dr. Spann will collaborate with the executive leadership team, playing a key part in guiding the clinical development, treatment delivery, and management of Monte Nido & Affiliates three program brands: Monte Nido, Clementine and Oliver-Pyatt Centers. Additionally, Dr. Spann will oversee the residential and day treatment programs on a regional and national level while continuing to build upon the company's twenty-three years of quality eating disorder treatment. "I am thrilled to elevate Dr. Spann into this role over Monte Nido & Affiliates programs," said Chief Executive Officer Candy Henderson MS.

"I look forward to partnering with our tenured and talented clinical leaders to enhance the trusted model and excellent care that our programs are known for."

Dr. Spann received her Doctoral degree from Drexel University in Philadelphia, PA, Master's degree from the University of Miami, and her Bachelor's degree from the University of Florida.
