About this clinic

The British Columbia Home Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (BC HPEN) Program allows patients to get parenteral (PN) and enteral nutrition (EN) at home.

These are life-saving therapies for people who cannot eat or absorb enough nutrients from a regular diet. They usually begin in a hospital setting. Our program supports patients who need continued nutritional support at home.

By taking part in research, you can help us all learn more about advancing health outcomes and find better ways to help people live and thrive. While you cannot assume benefit to yourself, your participation can make a difference in improving care for future patients.
