Our health team includes a registered dietitian, who works with your family doctor to help you set personal goals for healthy eating. Patients looking for dietary support related to weight management, diabetes or dyslipidemia/hypertension are asked to attend a group workshop or connect with a health management nurse first.

Group workshops and one-on-one appointments can help you:

• set personal goals for dietary changes
• access practical nutrition advice related to diabetes, liver, heart or kidney conditions
• manage digestive issues, celiac disease and food allergies
• receive support during and after pregnancy
• learn about healthy eating and nutrition for all ages

Please note PCN registered dietitians do not see pediatric patients. If you need nutrition-related support for yourself or a minor in your family, ask your doctor about a referral to Alberta Health Services’ Nutrition Services.
