About
Generation Health Clinic is a family-centred healthy living program that offers medical, nutrition, and mental health assessment and supports for children and teens aged 6 to 17 living with overweight or obesity and specific health concerns.
The focus is on improving health and well-being by working with families to build the foundation for healthy living through family connections, balanced eating, active living, mental health, screen time, and sleep.
The program is delivered by an interdisciplinary team consisting of a physician, a registered dietitian, a mental health professional and an exercise specialist. It is available by referral from a physician or nurse practitioner.
