Nurse Navigators

When you’ve had a cancer diagnosis, you need special assistance to navigate your way through treatments and beyond. At Arroyo Grande, we assign a nurse navigator to each cancer patient, one who will be with your from diagnosis, through surgery and treatment.

What Is A Nurse Navigator? 

Nurse navigators are specially trained, highly skilled nurses who are here to help you figure out what screenings you need as well as to assist with explaining different cancer treatment options. They are an important source of both information and support. 

Nurse navigators are provided at no cost and will:

• Help you understand your cancer diagnosis and treatment options
• Coordinate communication between you and your health care team
• Collaborate with the members of your health care team
• Inform you about financial counseling, clinical trials, genetic counseling and other support services
• Help you and your family connect with community services
