About: Offers outpatient dietitian individual appointments for pediatrics, adolescents and adults struggling with eating disorders and disordered eating, as well as general nutrition concerns. Referral is through physicians or other health professionals. Services include initial nutrition assessment and ongoing follow-up appointments as needed, and dietitian liaises with counsellors in the community and helps to coordinate referrals to tertiary programs as needed. Inpatient admissions are rare but accepted when all other options are unfeasible, as hospital staff are not specialized in this area.
