What is the Equity in Nutrition Care Program?
This program is now closed. Please check back in the future.
In collaboration with University of Calgary, and Pfizer Canada, CDHF’s Equity in Nutrition Care Program will be offering FREE online dietitian consultations for individuals to access specialized dietary and nutritional recommendations for their condition. We believe health equity is achieved when everyone can attain their full potential for health and well-being.
We are able to offer this program for a limited time, and to a limited number of individuals.
Do you live in a remote community with no access to a registered dietitian? Are you unable to pay for a dietitian consult, but would like to speak one? Do you have a digestive condition?
If you answered YES to the above, this program is for you.
This program is designed to help people who have a digestive disease and are not able to access registered dietitian services easily or affordably. LyfeMD is providing the dietitian support.
Am I eligible?
This program is for you if you are not able to access a dietitian because:
- You live in a remote community and a dietitian trained in digestive disease is not available to you, or;
- You cannot afford to pay for a dietitian consult and have no insurance coverage.
Does this cost money?
We are able to offer this program for a limited time at no cost due to the generosity of Pfizer Canada, Canadian Digestive Health Foundation (CDHF) and the University of Calgary.
