Nutrition is topic of workshop at Griffin Hospital in Derby

DERBY - The Center for Cancer Care at Griffin Hospital will host a free workshop from 6-7 p.m. April 18 to help cancer patients and their families understand the importance of nutrition during survivorship.

Registered Dietician Samantha Heller, MS, will present “Nurturing Your Body through Nutrition,” a discussion on how to eat healthy after cancer treatment to boost the immune system and lower the risk for cancer.

The presentation is part of the Center for Cancer Care’s free Survivorship Program, which offers personalized guidance from experienced clinicians to help cancer patients transition from active treatment back to everyday life.

Future presentations include "Intimacy and Sexuality" on May 17.
The Center’s entire survivorship care team is Survivorship Training & Rehabilitation (STAR) certified.
Through extensive evidence-based training, STAR certified clinicians have gained thorough knowledge and understanding of the unique rehabilitation needs of cancer survivors.
