Cancer Navigator Program
Navigating You Through the Cancer Care Process
Receiving a cancer diagnosis brings many challenges. Patients and their families may feel overwhelmed and uncertain about what to do next or where to find help. At this difficult time, many need help managing their cancer treatment while navigating through the hospital.
Our Cancer Navigator Program provides individually designed cancer care treatment maps for newly diagnosed cancer patients and their families. Our goal is to guide you through the cancer care process and support you through stressful situations.
We provide personalized help for you and your family to help you overcome any hospital barriers. We also work to help you maintain and continue medical treatment plan and psychosocial care. Our Patient Navigator Program begins working at diagnosis and continues through all phases of your cancer experience.
