MIAMI (August 26, 2025) – Today, Monte Nido, one of the largest and leading eating disorder treatment providers in the country, announced a new strategic partnership with Arise, a digital outpatient healthcare company enabling comprehensive care for eating disorders, mental health, and long-term healing. Through collaboration and innovation, this alliance will expand Monte Nido’s mission of supporting clients through all stages of their healing journey, making it one of the only eating disorder providers to offer a complete system of care.

“With Arise joining Monte Nido, we are able to combine our long-established clinical expertise with Arise’s innovative virtual outpatient platform. This unique partnership simplifies the treatment process and alleviates stress for clients and their families,” said Molly Perlman, MD, MPH, CEDS-C, Chief Medical Officer of Monte Nido. “Importantly, this partnership will also expand access for clients who currently struggle to find care, ensuring more individuals can connect to the support they deserve.”

By joining forces, Monte Nido and Arise are creating a smoother, more connected continuum of care that extends beyond program walls. Monte Nido and Arise are shaping the future of eating disorder care with a hybrid model that ensures patients and families receive the level of care they truly need—whether that’s the safety and structure of in-person support or the flexibility of virtual treatment at home. This full-spectrum approach moves beyond simply connecting people to care and ensures they receive support that is accessible, clinically best-in-class, and precisely matched to each stage of recovery. This integration makes comprehensive, insurance-covered outpatient care available to clients who don’t yet have a treatment team, while also serving as a trusted bridge back to outpatient providers when a team is already in place.

“Arise was started with the aim of making care more inclusive and accessible for the millions of people living with eating disorders,” said Joan Zhang, Arise co-founder and CEO, “As we've expanded our virtual program, we've seen how urgently communities need stronger bridges tying together virtual and in-person care, and connecting treatment across levels. By partnering with Monte Nido, we are ensuring that more people have access to the lifesaving care they need and the ongoing support that makes lasting recovery possible.”
