Our nurse navigators handle the details so you don’t have to

Managing appointments, handling paperwork and addressing side effects is vital, but can be hard to do when you're living with cancer. Our nurse navigator helps you understand your cancer treatment options and makes sure all your questions get answered; assists you with making appointments, referrals, obtaining clinical documents and your admission to the hospital if needed; helps when you have side effects; and refers you to any other resources you may need.

Key treatment for cancer, without the hassle

When you're fighting cancer, you may not have the energy to handle the details of insurance billing and payment. Your patient service coordinator and social worker help determine your eligibility for resources, maximize your insurance benefits and handle the details and paperwork for you.

Support for the whole you

You also have access experts in nutrition, pain management and spiritual and emotional support.

We encourage you to see the difference for yourself. To learn more, call (661) 323-4673.
