Your Cancer Navigator:
A Knowledgeable Companion On Your Cancer Journey

If you have been diagnosed with cancer, the first thing that you want to know is “What's next?”

That is where Memorial Cancer Institute's Patient Navigators can help. Your Patient Navigator is a specially credentialed oncology nurse who will provide you with the support you need, for your clinical care and beyond it. They will review your diagnosis, guide you through the medical system, and help you overcome any barriers that you may face throughout your journey.

Your Patient Navigator will "triage" your case and make sure your treatments and procedures are scheduled in a timely manner. They will help you and your loved ones understand every aspect of the care you'll receive – whether it's surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, drug therapy, or all of the above – at each step of the process. And they will be there if you have questions or concerns.

Your Patient Navigator can also help research any clinical trials you might qualify for in addition to your current treatment plan.

Cancer is enough of a challenge. Let a Patient Navigator help lead the way.
