Who are the people in your neighborhood bringing food to the forefront of health? Tune in this summer for a weekly series of conversations between PPMNY Network Director Lianna Levine Reisner and local clinicians who understand the power of plants in supporting their patients’ well-being. Learn about their pioneering projects and perspectives on using food as medicine.

Urvi Shah, MD is a faculty on the myeloma service, division of hematologic malignancies at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. Her research focuses on studying the role of lifestyle-related risk factors such as obesity and nutrition in the development of multiple myeloma, as well as identifying interventions to improve outcomes for these patients. Being a cancer (Hodgkin lymphoma) survivor herself, she is passionate about helping patients make wise nutritional and lifestyle choices as they face a cancer diagnosis as well as raising awareness about healthy choices to prevent cancer and chronic disease.
