 Our nurse navigators are experienced,
advanced practice registered nurses who are certified
in oncology care. Since they understand the disease
process, physician network and health insurance arena,
they can talk to you about why specific treatments
may be helpful so you can make educated decisions that
are right for you.
As the name implies,
the navigator helps you navigate the healthcare system,
access appropriate resources as your needs change and
avoid or work around any obstacles. Your nurse navigator
stays with you throughout your various treatments working
with all of the physicians involved in your care.
You can look to your
nurse navigator for support and answers on:
- Symptom management
- Community resource referrals
- Complementary medicine
- Health promotion for cancer
survivors
- Changing healthcare needs
as you transfer from surgeon to medical oncologist
to radiation therapist
- End of life care
