WASHINGTON July 4, 2007 - Rep. Jim Ramstad (R-MN) will receive the Eating Disorders Coalition Award for Policy at an August 15 reception in Wayzata, Minn. The award will be presented in recognition of the congressman's energetic work on behalf of eating disorders research, treatment, and prevention.

"Congressman Ramstad stands with everyone who has suffered from a mental illness or addiction," says EDC Board President Kitty Westin of Chaska, Minn. "He is a beacon of hope and optimism that tomorrow can and will be better for millions of Americans who are now shut out from access to treatment. We honor him for his years of personal and professional dedication."

Westin's daughter, Anna, died in 2000 after battling an eating disorder. Kitty Westin helped found the Eating Disorders Coalition in 2001 in order to bring national attention to eating disorders by working with Congress, the federal government, the media, and others.

Congressman Ramstad and his staff have led the effort in Congress to pass a new mental health parity bill that would ensure coverage for 9 million Americans who suffer from anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, and eating disorders not otherwise specified.
