Be part of an inclusive organization with over 40,000 teammates, whose mission is to improve the health and well-being of the unique communities we serve.

Each patient has an assigned nurse navigator to oversee their diagnosis and treatment, help them get their needs met, and serve as their personal resource. The specific purpose of the nurse navigator is to expedite and facilitate access to initial and ongoing care in our system, to personalize the care our patients receive, to provide a single gateway for our patients to minimize confusion over communication, and to provide a consistent contact for our patients from diagnosis to survivorship.

The nurse navigator is patient‑oriented, not physician or division specific, and will facilitate care of the patient and family across the many disciplines and professionals required for their care. The nurse navigator acts as the liaison for the patient and family addressing their concerns and questions, and works with program assistants to arrange their various appointments with their providers.
