At St. Anthony Hospital, we know that when you or your family member is diagnosed with cancer the feeling can be overwhelming. We understand the frustration and confusion you may have when it comes to medical tests, appointments, and insurance. That’s why we developed our innovative Nurse Navigator program.
Working with breast and lung cancer patients, our Nurse Navigator expedites all aspects of care. As a certified oncology nurse, she begins by making sure patients are scheduled for the most appropriate diagnostic testing within days, not weeks. Once a diagnosis is confirmed and the cancer is staged, a multidisciplinary team convenes to develop a coordinated care plan. Throughout treatment, our Nurse Navigator is there to smooth the way, scheduling appointments, making sure the necessary paperwork is completed and coordinating care among the various specialists. For patients, coordinated care translates into better outcomes – a better shot at beating cancer.
Don’t try to navigate the maze of cancer alone. Let our Nurse Navigator help so you can focus on the important things, like your health.
