Patient Navigation Services at The Cancer Institute at Alexian Brothers Hospital Network
About Us
It's normal to feel apprehensive or overwhelmed when you or a family member is preparing for cancer treatment. The complexity of care and treatment options throughout your cancer journey requires individualized patient education and preparation. Patients and their families need timely access to comprehensive cancer treatment and efficient referral in their community.
To help accomplish this The Cancer Institute at Alexian Brothers Hospital Network offers Patient Navigation Services. This service consists of individuals or "navigators" who are trained to help cancer patients and their families through the sometimes confusing and complex healthcare system. The navigator provides one-on-one guidance to each patient in all stages of treatment.
Your navigator can also help by anticipating and avoiding potential barriers of care such as financial, communication, information, and transportation challenges.
