Did you know that your patients can access PCN Clinicians with or without a referral? The Bow Valley PCN offers a well-rounded team of professionals and programs to help all patients improve their health and wellness.
This month we shine the spotlight on Zarifa Monson, our own Registered Dietitian, (incidentally March 17 was Dietitian’s Day). Zarifa’s favourite foods are all things vegetable – so cliché for a Dietitian (she knows) but they’re so versatile and delicious! … she also loves Miss Vickie’s potato chips 😊
Zarifa is able to provide support to patients through education, accountability and support to empower everyone to meet their health-related goals. Zarifa became a Dietitian because she loves people and loves to help them. She also runs several Community Classes throughout the year including: Craving Change (a three-week course focused on your relationship with food), Nutrition Essentials, Heart-Full Nutrition, Pre-Diabetes, Nutrition & Inflammation and Mind Matters.
Dietitians understand the science of nutrition and the unique needs of each person based on their health, preferences, culture and food traditions. You can self-refer to Zarifa and book an appointment by calling 403-675-3000.
