Cathy Russo

I have taught Hlth 25, 33, 53, Holistic Health & Nutrition for 15 years.

I was involved in Project Shine and developed a new course, Holistic Health Practices.  I also coordinated reference material on Complementary Medicine for the Rosenberg and John Adams Library.

I teach Yoga and Herbal classes to the community.  For many years, I have been an active Sierra Club member and joined various environmental projects.  In addition, I am a member of the CNA (California Nurse's Association) and worked as a surgical and psychiatric nurse for 26 years.  Furthermore, I have experiences in working with The Food Safety issues on GMO's and safe food labeling.

If we want to be healthy, we need to examine what health means to us and how we are going to become healthy. I really enjoy teaching various health classes at City College.  My goal in teaching our students is to provide accurate health information, increase health awareness and empower students to be better health consumers: knowledge is power!!!
