Nurse Navigators 

Helping to guide you to the best possible outcome.

At SSM Breast Care, our Nurse Navigators guide patients every step of the way, from diagnosis through treatment. If the diagnosis is cancer, they help guide patients through the maze of options and frequent questions related to the disease. In addition, they provide educational and emotional support for patients and their family members, and serve as a valuable liaison between patients and the comprehensive team of treatment providers.

The health care delivery system can be complex. Thankfully, our Nurse Navigators know the way. They help patients:

• Understand the healthcare process, from diagnosis and treatment options to supportive care and insurance questions.
• Feel comfortable by serving as your advocate, educator, and guide throughout the treatment process. 
• Schedule appointments and communicate with the medical team members. 
• Learn more about your specific treatment options as well as any potential side effects.
• Enjoy peace of mind by providing emotional support to them and their families.
