Patients:
are not alone
This is a difficult time for you. You
may have questions and concerns
about your health. You may also
need help getting the care you need.
The Patient Navigator Program provides
support for newly diagnosed cancer patients,
families and caregivers throughout the
treatment process. Patient navigators meet with
patients who are experiencing problems that
may interfere with treatment, helping them find
the answers and assistance they need to stay
on the road to recovery.
The American Cancer Society Patient
Navigator Program is made possible by a
donation from Astra Zeneca.
Patient Navigator
Program
A patient navigator is a trained professional
who guides patients through the treatment
process at Roswell Park Cancer Institute,
identifying and helping to overcome any
problems that may keep the patient from
beginning or continuing treatment. In addition to
providing direct assistance at Roswell Park,
navigators connect patients and families to
agencies in the Western New York community
that can help address other challenges they are
facing as a result of a cancer diagnosis:
• Barriers to healthcare
• Financial issues
• Transportation/lodging concerns
• Confusion or lack of information about
the cancer diagnosis
• The need for emotional support from
social work/psychology professionals
and/or support groups
