Dietetics

Dietetics focuses on an individual’s nutritional needs and eating habits. As regulated health care professionals, registered dietitians can assess an individual’s diet, develop nutritional plans and menus, and educate clients and families on the implementation of these plans. Our dietitians provide services in a variety of settings including homes, hospitals and long term care homes.

The services provided by dietitians are especially helpful for individuals suffering from cancer, diabetes, and digestive and swallowing disorders. Our dietitians can identify and develop food modification plans to reduce the risk of aspiration, dehydration and malnutrition. Dietitians use their knowledge and expertise to promote healthy lifestyles choices and support individuals in the areas of disease prevention and management.
