The Ottawa Hospital Academic Family Health Team has registered dietitians (RDs) who use their expertise to provide team-based care for you and your family.
Dietitians are specially trained to provide medical nutrition therapy to promote health throughout the lifecycle and manage many of the common conditions seen in family practice.
What our registered dietitians can do for you
Our dietitian provides individual and family nutrition counselling to help patients make informed choices about the food they eat and translate nutritional information into realistic advice.
