Health Consortium Publishes Nutrition Guide for Alaska Native Cancer Patients

In order to meet the needs of Alaska Natives undergoing or recovering from cancer treatment, the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium cancer program published in April a full-color, 142-page nutrition guide for patients and their families. The "Traditional Food Guide for Alaska Native Cancer Survivors" highlights traditional foods that can and should be eaten by cancer patients. It includes nutrition information and recipes, as well as stories and anecdotes from a variety of Alaska Native cultures. A story in the Anchorage Daily News tells you more about it and how to order it.
