Mosaic PCN employs a dietitian who specializes in childhood obesity. The dietitian provides children who are at risk for obesity and their parent(s)/guardian(s) with nutrition education and strategies. Sessions focus on giving the parent(s)/guardian(s) the tools to provide their child/children with healthy balanced meals and tips for meal and snack times.
This program operates in partnership with community health clinics and Alberta Health Services.
How to Access:
The childhood obesity dietitian works with children 0-5 years of age and their parent(s)/guardian(s). Physician referral is required. If you would like to meet with the childhood obesity dietitian, consult you family physician for a referral or make an appointment at the Mosaic Primary Care Clinic if you do not have a family physician.
Children older than 5 years of age are referred to Alberta Health Services dietitians.
