What is a Breast Cancer Nurse Navigator?

Our Breast Cancer Nurse Navigator is a registered nurse, board-certified in oncology, who has received additional training specific to the needs and issues of breast cancer patients, serving as the liaison between the patient and all other members of the health care team. One of the most important roles of the Breast Cancer Nurse Navigator is that of patient and family educator.

24/7 Support

The Breast Cancer Nurse Navigator is available to patients 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and carries a beeper which is never turned off to ensure that patients always have a resource. This close contact with the patient enables the Breast Cancer Nurse Navigator to assess potential areas of concern or need, such as understanding treatment options and coping, throughout the duration of the active treatment phase and in the future.
