Description
Having a diagnosis of cancer turns you and your family’s world upside down overnight. You may have questions about test results, treatments or about trying to secure financial resources for travel and medications. The Cancer Patient Navigation Program can help you and your family with these issues. Cancer Patient Navigation is a process where a person with a suspicious finding or known cancer is guided through each step in the cancer care journey.
