Vege-Friendly Health Professionals - Nga Kaimahi Hauora
Before choosing your health professionals, find out their views about vegetarianism. You will want a health professional who is up to date and positive about your lifestyle, and who is able to give you correct information and support should difficulties arise. A negative response to your vegetarianism or veganism from your health professional is likely to affect the quality of information and support you receive, and how you feel about your care. The following list of health professionals have been recommended to this list by members of the Christchurch vegetarian and vegan community. An asterisk * signifies a vegetarian or vegan health professional. All others are considered vegetarian-friendly. Please contact us if you are vegetarian or vegan and would like to recommend your health professional or if you are a vegetarian or vegan health professional and would like to be included on this list.
