Food Is Medicine In Cancer Care ECHO

Food Is Medicine Coalition to Partner with American Cancer Society for Six Session ECHO Program

Our friends at the Food Is Medicine Coalition are proud to partner with the American Cancer Society to present the “Food is Medicine in Cancer Care ECHO,” focused on integrating nutrition into cancer care. These 6 FREE monthly virtual sessions are open to all and kick off July 21 with FIMC’s Nalini Peres-da-Silva and Cate Hensley presenting Food is Medicine 101.

Designed for cancer center staff, oncologists, and multidisciplinary oncology care teams, this program equips participants with practical, evidence-based strategies to apply Food Is Medicine approaches in clinical settings. Participants will explore the evidence base, address food access challenges, and implement approaches for screening, referral, and care delivery within real-world oncology and payment environments.  

CPEUs are available. Click the link below for eligibility details and instructions on how to claim credit.

*All sessions will take place from 4:00 p.m. to 5:15 p.m. ET. The sessions will be monthly through December 15.
