World Health Day 2026

Every April, the world comes together to recognize World Health Day, a global initiative by the World Health Organization to raise awareness about health issues and to inspire action.

“Together for health. Stand with science” is this year’s theme and it highlights that science, collaboration, and trust in evidence are essential to building healthier futures for everyone.

Where Science Meets Your Meal

Many of our clients rely on us to help manage complex health conditions. Nutrition science is constantly evolving and what we know about conditions like diabetes, kidney disease, and heart disease continues to improve. That’s why our Registered Dietitian reviews and updates our Menu Standards every year. This process ensures that the meals we provide reflect:

· The most currently nutrition research

· Updated clinical practice guidelines

· Best practice in therapeutic diet planning

More Than A Meal

For many people, following a therapeutic diet can be overwhelming, especially when access, mobility, and energy are limited. At Calgary Meals on Wheels, we can help bridge that gap by turning scientific evidence into action by delivering meals right to our clients’ doors.
