March is Nutrition Month – “Nourish to Flourish”.

The Perth and Smiths Falls District Hospital celebrates the amazing team of dietitians and services they make available and provide to patients. Dietitians are important members of the patient’s health care team.

Dietitians may see you to help with selecting a specialized diet and counselling you about the types of food to eat. If you have diabetes, or you are at risk of developing diabetes, talk to a member of your health care team to be referred to a diabetes education program. A doctor’s referral is necessary to access the hospital dietitian services.
