A wide range of nutrition services are provided by health authorities, and are jointly funded by the Ministry of Health and Ministry Responsible for Seniors and the Ministry for Children and Families .
All health authorities provide nutrition services primarily through hospitals and health units.
Your local health authority can provide information on the specific nutrition services that are available in your community. In Greater Vancouver call 732-9191. If in-depth counselling is required the dietitians guide callers to nutrition services available in their communities. Callers may also receive general guidelines about special diets by facsimile or mail. For information on nutrition resources for children published by the Ministry for Children and Families, contact the community nutritionist at your local health unit.
