Noontime Nosh at Goshen Center for Cancer Care
At the Goshen Center for Cancer Care, we believe in the power of nutrition to support our patients’ health and well-being. That’s why our Integrative Care Team hosts Noontime Nosh, a monthly event designed to help our patients discover healthy eating habits that can prevent cancer, reduce treatment side effects and promote a healthier lifestyle.
What is Noontime Nosh?
Noontime Nosh is a unique event held once a month under the direction of our registered dieticians. During these sessions, patients have the opportunity to watch a healthy meal being prepared and taste the delicious recipes. Each month features a different cooking demonstration, showcasing foods with cancer-fighting benefits. Attendees not only get to sample these nutritious dishes but also receive the recipes to try at home.
