The Patient Navigation Research Program
The Patient Navigation Research Program is a public health initiative designed to help cancer patients overcome barriers to timely care. Trained navigators assist patients with tasks like scheduling appointments, understanding treatment options, and accessing resources such as transportation or financial aid. The goal is to reduce delays in diagnosis and treatment, improving health outcomes. By providing personalized support, the program aims to ensure that patients receive the right care at the right time, regardless of their background or circumstances.
