FIBER-RICH FOODS FOR A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE
Saturday, May 4th | 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM
A diet rich in high-fiber foods can benefit us by increasing good bacteria in our gut and reducing our risk of cancer—so how can we incorporate them into our daily meals? Find out during our groundbreaking Docs in the Kitchen program, created by the University of Arizona Division of Gastroenterology & Hepatology in partnership with Hacienda at the River, a Watermark retirement community.
Juanita Merchant, MD, PhD, professor of medicine, interim director of the University of Arizona Cancer Center, and chief of the GI Division at the UArizona College of Medicine – Tucson, and Krisstina Gowin, DO, associate professor in the Division of Hematology & Oncology, along with Hacienda at the River’s very own Executive Chef David Sullivan, will lead our informative cooking demonstration. We’ll share small bites and wine along with a plated dinner featuring a delectable Mediterranean cuisine.
Cost per person: This event is a fundraiser with a portion of the ticket price going to the University of Arizona Foundation and net proceeds benefiting the University of Arizona Gastroenterology and Oncology programs. Tickets are $100 per person, $70 of which qualifies as a tax-deductible donation. Payments are processed by the University of Arizona.
