The Thamesview Family Health Team is challenging patients to take control of their health and lead healthier lives. By taking a “preventative approach”, we are encouraging healthy lifestyle habits in patients with risk factors for Heart Disease and Diabetes.

Upon successful completion of the 2 group sessions, each Patient will receive an individual 30-60 minute assessment/counselling from a FHT Nurse to discuss their specific problems and goals. The dietitian may be brought in for additional diet counselling for the patient as well.
The patients will have follow up appointments to track their progress (i.e., monthly, bi-monthly, etc.) for a period of 6 months after which they will be discharged from the program.
