Another ethics question

This question has to do with an anorexic girl that goes to my gym. This is the question: does the gym have any social responsibility with respect to this girl? I mean, she's really skinny, like 80 pounds skinny. And she's at the gym ALL THE TIME! And everyone is always staring at her, you know, on account of her being so skeletal. Doesn't the gym have some responsibility to say, um, hi, we are kind of concerned because you are so skinny and work out 5 hours a day. Is there some way we can help you? I kind of think it makes the gym look bad too on account of the anorexic girl being there all the time.

Any thoughts?
