Nurse Navigator
Nothing turns your life upside down like a cancer diagnosis. You may feel overwhelmed by the journey ahead of you, involving many specialists and procedures. Our nurse navigators are here for you!
What Is A Nurse Navigator?
Our nurse navigators are specially trained nurses who help guide patients through the care process and act as a liaison among caregivers and physicians. Having the personal support of a nurse navigator to explain the cancer services available helps take some of the mystery out of an already overwhelming process. They are an important source of both information and support.
Nurse navigators are provided at no cost and will:
- Help you understand your cancer diagnosis, treatment options, side effects and how to manage them
- Act as a liaison among caregivers and physicians
- Coordinate communication between you and your health care team
- Inform you about clinical trials, genetic counseling, and other support services
- Help you and your family connect with the variety of support services available to you
