Patient Navigator Programs

Patient Navigator Programs offer each patient an oncology certified nurse to help ease stress and provide emotional support for the entire family. A patient navigator begins assisting patients and families from the point of a suspicious finding through diagnosis, treatment and survivorship.

Patient navigators:

• Help patients navigate the health care system
• Provide one-on-one consultations to help patients and family members better understand the patient’s diagnosis and treatment options
• Assist with information gathering
• Coordinate care and streamline appointments for quicker treatment
• Identify and provide assistance to overcome any barriers to cancer care, such as finances, transportation, language, culture, communication or fear
• Link patients, caregivers and families to community resources to address specific needs during cancer treatment
• Lead and facilitate support groups

All services are free and are available to anyone in the community regardless of where they receive care.
