🌟 Facing cancer? Here’s something that can make life a little easier. 🌟

When you’re going through treatment, eating well matters—but let’s be honest, it can feel overwhelming. New foods, confusing “don’ts,” and the stress of planning meals? It’s a lot.

The good news: Small changes can make a BIG difference, says Jessica Coleman, MLA, NBC-HWC, an integrative oncology health and wellness coach at The Osher Center for Integrative Health at University of Vermont.

“The goal is to have eating well feel less like a chore and more like an opportunity to care for yourself, one meal at a time,” Coleman adds.

🍎🥦 She says one easy way to start doing that today is to consider two or three fruits, vegetables, whole grains and healthy proteins you already enjoy.

“Adding favorite healthy foods to your plate instead of fixating on what to subtract is a pleasure-based approach to food choice that can be easier to follow than one based on restriction,” Coleman explains.

👉 We’ve got four more tips – plus two cozy, plant-based recipes from UVM Health’s Culinary Medicine program to warm you up this winter. 🥣 Check out the full story in collaboration with The University of Vermont Cancer Center in the comments.

When Jim came to the FitzPatrick Cancer Center for radiation therapy, he found more than expert treatment. He also found compassion, kindness and professionalism that made all the difference.

Jim was so impressed by the care he received from Emily Vanderveeken, Christina Bradfield and Haleigh Thompson, three of our incredible radiation therapists, that he honored them through The Foundation of CVPH's Honor a Caregiver program.

This program gives patients and families a chance to recognize those who go above and beyond. Jim wanted everyone to know how much Emily, Christina and Haleigh meant to him during his cancer care. Their dedication and support inspired him to give back, helping others receive the same exceptional care.

We're so grateful for Jim's generosity and his decision to support our patients in their battle against cancer. And we're also thankful for Emily, Christina, Haleigh and everyone at our FitzPatrick Cancer Center who have an impact on so many lives in our community!
