Prostate Cancer Patient Navigators
Your Guide through the Cancer Treatment Process
Our patient navigators, specially trained RNs or social workers, serve as a “point person” to guide each prostate cancer patient throughout the treatment process. By providing advocacy, education, and support from diagnosis to recovery, our navigators help patients feel calmer and more in control.
