AHLP – Calgary Zone dietitians update

Effective immediately, Alberta Healthy Living Program (AHLP) dietitians in the Calgary Zone are no longer accepting referrals from primary care physicians for nutrition care.

Please note all other services are unchanged and that the change applies only to dietitian consults within AHLP services. AHLP dietitians will provide specialized nutrition care on a limited basis.

For details on accepted referrals, please consult the Alberta Referral Directory.

For CWC PCN physician members:

• Your PCN’s Dietitian Program continues to accept referrals for patients:
  • With IBS, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, celiac disease, liver health, or kidney health (inclusion criteria on the referral form details the eligible conditions)
  • Without coverage by other health payers or the financial means to access a dietitian
• A review is underway to update the AHLP-related information on the form and related resources
