The ‘Ai Pono Outpatient Program is the longest running intensive outpatient eating disorder treatment program not only in Hawaii, but in the United States.
Our outpatient program has a long history. Its origins were as the Anorexia and Bulimia Center of Hawaii (ABC Hawaii), co-founded by Drs. Anita Johnston and Steve Orenstein in 1982. Initially a “center without walls” it began as a collection of professionals in Oahu specializing in the treatment of eating disorders.
Recently, we have received numerous requests from women residing in Hawaii who are need of an outpatient level of care, but who are unable to make it to our Maui or Honolulu locations.
