Adding Life to Our Years
In 2024 we created and presented a popular six lecture series in Loreto Bay, “Adding Life to Our Years”, addressing longevity and living well through lifestyle modification with an emphasis on research from The Blue Zones. The topics included “Exploring the Power of Plants for Optimal Health: Adding Life to Our Years.” by vegan chef and our founder Tracey Delaplain, “Brain Health, What’s Good For The Heart is Good For The Brain” by Lesley Samuels, MD, “Cancer Prevention” by Brian Samuels, MD, “The Miracle Drug: Exercise is Medicine” by Claudia Olsen, MD, “The Science Behind TheBlue Zones” by registered dieticians and authors SeAnne Waite, PhD, RD, LD and Sue Linja, RD, LD
Stitching Support Through Community Quilts
Our community projects included coordinating with the Quilt Group of Loreto Bay to receive and donate beautiful handmade quilts to women newly diagnosed with cancer as a way of saying, “We see you and we understand.” These quilts are made with love and they wrap our patients in hope and understanding.
Educational Programs
With the help of Onco Loreto, we have supported ongoing cancer awareness lectures in nutrition and self breast exams.
We donated plant forward healthy eating educational materials in español to the community college for their health and nutrition lectures.
