Dietitian, translation support

For patients needing translation assistance to access nutritional support, help is available:

• Our Primary Care Registered Dietitians and Primary Care Registered Nurses both have access to Translation Services.
• Health Link’s dietitian self-referral form includes a field to notify them that the services of an interpreter are required and the language needed (they recommend a healthcare team member submit the form on behalf of the patient).
• Patients calling Health Link at 811 can remain on the line without selecting an option to be connected with a staff member who can bring in an interpreter.

Our Dietitian Program provides support for your patients ages 10 and up who are otherwise unable to access one-on-one dietitian support for:

• Gastrointestinal health (IBS, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and celiac disease)
• Liver health
• Kidney health

Our curated Nutrition Resources Guide lists multiple options for other conditions.
