Breast Health Patient Navigator

We understand that an abnormal mammogram or a diagnosis of breast cancer can be frightening and overwhelming. Patients have so many questions, and often don’t know where to start. Our Breast Health Patient Navigator offers guidance and assistance throughout the patient’s breast cancer experience. Our Breast Health Navigator is an RN who is available to provide assistance for an individual who is navigating through the complexities of scheduling and care, so the important tests and treatments occur in a timely manner. Our Breast Health Navigator also offers emotional support and a calm reassurance at a time when the patient needs it most.
