Caring4Cancer: Tips from Executive Chef Rebecca Katz

Greetings from James S. Gordon, MD, Founder & Director

Welcome to the Center's first monthly e-newsletter. Since self-care is central to all our work, each newsletter will feature useful information or techniques that will help you, your patients and your family to improve your health and well being, along with news of what the Center is doing. We hope to see you soon at one of our trainings.  Enjoy!

Don't miss this outstanding professional training-- the equivalent of a semester's worth of nutrition curriculum in 4 days. This is the nutrition class that health care professionals tell us they've been looking for.
