Oncology Nurse Navigators and Financial Advocates Provide Safety Net for Patients

Fighting cancer is tough – it takes a team of support. You need someone to guide you through the process, and your oncology nurse navigator will do just that. They’ll be your primary contact and keep you on track with physician appointments, imaging tests, and any other needs, such as lab tests. Your oncology nurse navigator will be your go-to person for questions, concerns or specific needs, helping our patients feel safe and secure through every step of care for your personal goals and treatment decisions. 

Your financial advocate will help with a range of needs, including any barriers to care that affect your ability to receive tests or treatments. Starting with the review of your insurance, they will investigate available grant monies and local resources across counties, including free medication programs and co-pay assistance. These caring teams have such a helpful attitude, always thinking of ways to ease the burden of cancer on our patients and their loved ones.
