      Working alongside Family Health Teams to provide medically supervised lifestyle intervention for patients as part of the CHANGE program. It succeeds where other interventions in the past have failed, by helping family doctors, dietitians and exercise specialists in primary care settings work together to improve the overall health of patients with lasting benefits. Based on evidence from diet and exercise research, the CHANGE Program focuses on long-term changes and overall well-being. It simultaneously targets the conditions that often progress to high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and diabetes, while reducing the need for medication. Show less
