Wellness Series: Popular diets in the media
Lunch & Learn (Formerly PIKNIC)
Lunch & Learn is designed for patients, caregivers, volunteers and employees to hear the latest news and information related to cancer from MD Anderson experts. It’s also a good chance for patients and caregivers to connect with others.
Sessions are held from 12:30-1:30 p.m. on the second and third Tuesdays of the month, unless indicated differently on the schedule.
Six times a year topics will focus on wellness. This series will be streamed to the Houston-area locations and available to view online. Those sessions are indicated by an asterisk.
