Taste for the Cure 2017: A Taste of Science

Please join the UCSF Carol Franc Buck Breast Care Center in Taste for the Cure, an informational community event to complement patient care. This is a day of exploring food, science, and breast health.

Along with breast care panels, join us for science and cooking demonstrations, healthy food tastings, massages, acupuncture sessions, underwater healing photography and origami displays, raffles for prizes promoting healthy living, and updates on trials and programs available through the Breast Care Center.
