Food Safety Class

“Often, patients are surprised to know that food is important in cancer prevention and survivorship. Our registered dietitians have specific expertise to address diet recommendations that help patients live their best lives.” -Kerry K. McMillen (MS, RD, CSO, FAND, Manager, Medical Nutrition Therapy Services).
Proper nutrition is vital for people with cancer and directly supports their treatment and recovery. It can play a key role in cancer prevention as well as help prevent a cancer or disease from returning after treatment.
At Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center Medical Nutrition Therapy Services, our registered dietitians are extensively trained in cancer care, and they work with Fred Hutch patients who are facing a full range of cancer types, stages and needs. We not only help manage treatment-related symptoms but proactively help patients maintain strength and healthy body tissue, both during treatment and afterward. Our services are free and available exclusively to Fred Hutch patients.
