Geisinger has announced the opening of registration for its 2025 culinary medicine classes. These sessions, available both in-person and online, aim to blend cooking skills with nutritional science. The program is designed to provide an evidence-based approach to health by integrating food preparation with nutrition education.

The classes are conducted by a registered dietitian nutritionist and will cover various topics such as healthy meals, portion sizes, label reading, snacking habits, eating behaviors, kitchen safety, and smart shopping practices. Participants can choose to attend these free classes at Geisinger’s teaching kitchen in Selinsgrove or join virtually.

To register for the classes, interested individuals can visit geisinger.org/cooking. For any inquiries regarding the program, emails can be sent to culinarymedicine@geisinger.edu.

Geisinger is recognized as one of the leading providers of value-based care in the United States. It serves approximately 1.2 million people across central and northeastern Pennsylvania through its extensive network of care sites. Founded in 1915 by Abigail Geisinger, the nonprofit organization generates over $8 billion annually from its operations that include 10 hospital campuses and a health plan with more than half a million members.

Additionally, Geisinger College of Health Sciences plays a significant role in educating medical professionals and conducting clinical research studies. With a workforce exceeding 27,000 employees including physicians and nurses, Geisinger is one of Pennsylvania’s largest employers contributing significantly to the state’s economy.

In 2024, Geisinger became part of Risant Health to further enhance value-based care initiatives nationwide.
