Cedars-Sinai Cancer Moves Survivorship Programming to a New Facility and Resumes In-Person Classes—Including Nutrition in Your Kitchen

In a brightly lit kitchen one recent afternoon, cancer survivors Patricia Rhodes and Evette Knight were part of a group gathered around a convection burner and a sauté pan filled with mushrooms. Cancer dietitian Meghan Laszlo, RD, explained why they shouldn’t stir quite yet. “We’re going to try our best to leave them alone so that they brown,” she said.

Even through her mask, Rhodes, whose ovarian cancer was successfully treated a year ago, could smell the savory results. “You are so right about not stirring,” she said as she eventually flipped the nicely browned mushrooms. Nearby, Knight chopped scallions for mushroom fried rice and others added milk to a saucepan for a hot chocolate featuring mushroom powder.

Mushrooms, which studies have shown can help cancer-fighting immune cells stay active, were the focus of this Nutrition in Your Kitchen class, part of Wellness, Resilience and Survivorship programming in the Cedars-Sinai Cancer Patient and Family Support Program. Wellness, Resilience and Survivorship recently moved into a new custom-designed facility and resumed many in-person classes for the first time since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In addition to the kitchen area with its blonde wood cabinets, stainless steel worktable and gleaming appliances, the space boasts gym equipment that is easily moved aside to accommodate yoga classes, as well as additional rooms for other gatherings and a dedicated medical clinic upstairs.
