The Amy Helpenstell Foundation is dedicated to improving the quality of life in the Quad-City area by funding, educational programs, youth development activities, community development and cultural activities.

In the Fall of 2006 The Amy Helpenstell Foundation became a stimulus to convene a variety of local professionals to study the issue of Eating Disorders in the greater Quad-Cities area. The Foundation contacted the Robert Young Center seeking assistance for a recommend approach. Dr. David Deopere, President of RYC convened eleven treatment professionals and community leaders to plan the effort.  Please browse our site for more information about the Consortium and information about eating disorders. 

Our mission is to be guided by the Amy Helpenstell Foundation's message of help, hope and healing by promoting awareness, understanding, diagnosis and treatment for eating disorders in our community.
