Enjoy an interactive cooking class from the comfort of your own kitchen with your fellow WHCMers! Taught by an experienced chef, you’ll whisk yourself away to the Mediterranean, virtually of course! The fresh flavors of this quinoa salad will make you feel like you’re sitting seaside.

You’ll chop, learn how to make quinoa, pan sear a protein, and make your own salad dressing. This is a super fun, super delicious, healthy, and clean eating cooking experience. You will see and interact with the other participants as well as the Chef.

Navigating the healthcare system can be overwhelming. This discussion about healthcare advocacy will teach you how to take charge of your own healthcare or that of a loved one. Learn how to make more informed decisions, whether facing a recent diagnosis and or hoping to gain a better understanding of the information available through patient portals.
