The Marlene Meyerson JCC Manhattan presents a five-episode virtual health and wellness series, Broadway’s Best for Breast Cancer!, co-hosted by Hamilton star Mandy Gonzalez (currently battling breast cancer) and Caroline Kohles, senior director of health and wellness programming at the JCC. The series engages Broadway stars and healthcare experts to offer guidance to those facing their own health challenges during the pandemic.
The June 22 episode features: Telly Leung, star of Broadway’s “Aladdin,” Chef AJ, a television cook, speaker and author of the book “Unprocessed: How to Achieve Vibrant Health and Your Ideal Weight,” and Jamie Lopez, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist at God’s Love We Deliver with a special interest in nutrition education, oncology nutrition and intuitive eating.
The series is part of JCC’s cancer care partnership with Breastlink New York, which offers complementary care to those living with breast cancer through a range of classes, lectures and events focusing on self-care through movement, massage, yoga, Nia and Moving for Life — all to boost healing, increase vitality and help manage any side effects from cancer treatment. Broadway’s Best for Breast Cancer! is endorsed by JCC community partners Sharsheret, The Nia Technique and The American Cancer Society.
Each event is followed by a live Q&A on Facebook Live at facebook.com/jccinmanhattan/
