Our dedicated team of cancer navigators is made up of oncology certified nurses who work with patients, families and physicians to help the cancer patient “navigate” the health care system. Currently our cancer navigator team consists of breast, gastrointestinal/prostate, and lung/brain cancer navigators.

Your navigator can help you and your family with:

		Understanding your cancer diagnosis
		Providing emotional support and guidance
		Assisting with coordination of appointments as needed
		Explaining your treatment options
		Connecting you with services such as nutritional counseling, physicial therapy, genetic testing, financial assistance, support groups and palliative care
		Help remove any road blocks that may hinder your care
		Assist with communication between you and your physicians
		Coordinate participation in the multidisciplinary breast clinic

No referral is needed for this service which is provided free of charge. Simply contact one of our navigators for an appointment.
