Lunch & Learn
In-person sessions canceled until further notice
MD Anderson is actively monitoring for the coronavirus disease (COVID-19). To ensure the safety of our patients, visitors and staff, we are following the guidelines of federal health officials, including the CDC. Given our vulnerable patient population and recent efforts to limit visitors on campus, we are canceling all in-person Lunch & Learn sessions until further notice.
Online sessions available
Volunteer Services and Merchandising hosts virtual Lunch & Learn sessions for patients and caregivers. Classes are held using Zoom on the second and third Tuesdays of the month from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. CDT. Please see registration links for each session below.
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.
