THE CANCER CARE NAVIGATOR

The program includes a dedicated Cancer Care Navigator who will be in regular contact with you, helping you to build a support plan and keeping it on track throughout your treatment and recovery. Research shows that the services of a Cancer Care Navigator, allied health professionals and health coaching team are effective in supporting the quality of life, wellbeing and recovery of people with cancer during and after their treatment.
