The Renfrew Center, founded in 1985 by Sam Menaged as an eating disorder treatment center in Philadelphia, today encompasses 19 facilities in 13 states and has treated more than 75,000 women.
Sam, 70, the president, works alongside his daughter Vanessa, 36, vice president of marketing and professional relations. Vanessa started with the family business as a student intern during the summer. After working on Capitol Hill as the executive assistant to former U.S. Rep. Allyson Schwartz (D-Pa.), she joined Renfrew full-time 10 years ago. Today, she is a member of the executive team and the clinical excellence board.
