Something You Wouldn’t Expect From a Cancer Center. Commitment To Culinary And Nutritional Excellence. We recognize how important maintaining a healthy, well-balanced diet is to the healing process. We also understand that your appetite and tastes may change during cancer treatment. According to the National Cancer Institute, 20% to 40% of cancer patients die from causes related to malnutrition, not from the cancer itself. Executive Chef Frank Caputo graduated from the Culinary Institute of America. After many years as an entrepreneur in the restaurant industry, he realized that he wanted to make a difference in the lives of others. That’s when Caputo moved from Florida to Goodyear, Arizona, to join Cancer Treatment Centers of America® (CTCA) as the Director of Culinary Services for Western Regional Medical Center. 888-214-9488 cancercenter.com
