Yes2Health, a program of the Delaware Breast Cancer Coalition, will host multiple sessions this fall, with in-person and virtual options.

Yes2Health is a free 10-week program with classes available in both English and Spanish. Weekly educational programs include fitness, health, and wellness education to help participants live an active and healthy lifestyle.

Mignaliz “Nanny” Vega-Morales, bilingual survivorship specialist and Yes2Health facilitator, said, “Being able to facilitate Yes2Health in-person is extremely exciting for me since interacting and exercising together will be motivating for all participants. Yes2Health in-person is a new way to connect with the community and create bonds of trust between participants. I am passionate about serving the Hispanic community and with this program offering them tools to help them take care of their health.”

The Yes2Health Program now offers Yes2Health in the Kitchen. Inspired by Yes2Health nutrition materials, this no-cost, interactive cooking class allows participants to learn a new culinary skill while preparing a healthy recipe. Recipes and a shopping list are provided upon registration.

The instructor, Chef Dee Iraca, is the founder of Eat Well Chef, a registered dietitian nutritionist and a professional chef in North Carolina. She obtained a Culinary Nutrition degree from Johnson & Wales University and completed a dietetic internship at Meredith College. Participants meet virtually on Zoom.
