Our Mission
The mission of the Montreal Diet Dispensary is to promote health in the community especially among pregnant mothers whose babies are at risk.
About MONTREAL DIET DISPENSARY
The Dispensary serves approximately 2,000 needy pregnant women per year. The basic service they receive is nutrition counselling by a dietitian, combined with daily supplements of food (1 litre of milk, 1 egg, 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed) and vitamins. Mothers are also invited to participate in group activities concerning, among others, breastfeeding promotion and support (a weekly clinic is available on site), preparing for delivery, care of the newborn, healthy cooking, etc.
Our services give results: 95% of Dispensary babies are born at a healthy weight (without intervention, a 10-12% low birth weight rate is expected among disadvantaged populations) and more than 95% of our mothers breastfeed their babies. Every dollar invested in the Dispensary program saves eight dollars in health care costs.
The Dispensary, prevention worth millions!
