Support Navigating Cancer

Cancer patient navigators provide a single point of contact to support you and your family through a cancer diagnosis and treatment. They offer free guidance, education, support and case management. Your navigator can help you and your family:

  • Access support groups, integrative complementary therapies and other community resources
  • Keep track of medical appointments, attend them with you and even schedule transportation for your appointments
  • Manage financial issues related to care and help you obtain health coverage from government programs

Many of our patient navigators are registered nurses with specialty knowledge and certification in cancer care and can assist with:

  • Nutritional support during treatment
  • Exploring the pros and cons of personalized treatment options in simple terms
  • Evaluating and discussing clinical trials
  • Preparing for surgical and nonsurgical treatments such as chemotherapy
  • Understanding how to manage at-home recovery from surgery or treatments
