Cancer CenterCancer Navigators

When patients are diagnosed with cancer, they often feel overwhelmed and find it difficult to process information about their illness. At Reid Cancer Center, our cancer navigators can help. These caring nurses provide support for patients and their families throughout every phase of treatment at no additional cost. They can:

• Answer questions about your treatment plan
• Suggest support services
• Help you find ways to take charge of your own recovery
• Help set up doctor appointments
• Make sure you have transportation to and from the hospital
• And much more

Some patients rely heavily on their cancer navigator, while others call only occasionally for help. Whatever your needs, the cancer navigators are there to help.
