Our Registered Dietitian Is Available To Counsel Anyone Impacted By Cancer

The National Cancer Institute estimates that 35% of cancers are linked to diet.  Eat right to fight cancer, and this month there is no excuse not to, as March is National Nutrition Month, and our registered dietitian, Kimberly Petersen, RD, LDN, is available free of charge to meet with anyone impacted by cancer.

March Is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month

150,000 Americans will be diagnosed with colon cancer this year.  Preventative screenings are therefore extremely important in the fight against this disease.  Hear the latest on awareness, prevention and early detection.

About Minnie Pearl

Minnie Pearl was the lovable comedienne who appeared on The Grand Ole Opry and Hee Haw and greeted everyone with arms flung wide and a shrill “How-Deeeee!” Her broad embrace and unwavering sense of joy and hopefulness are timeless qualities that the MPCF adopted as its own when Sarah Cannon, the character’s creator and a cancer survivor herself who knew the priceless value of positive support.
