EDUCATION NAVIGATORS

Inquiry, knowledge and support are powerful tools on the path to healing.

While we know there are no easy answers, CANCER NAVIGATORS™, you, your caregivers and your medical team will travel through the process together to find the best pathways for this difficult journey you are taking.

Patients who participate in small groups for support have better medical outcomes than many of those who don't. These groups offer you knowledge about your condition and the full range of treatments that may include complementary therapies such as meditation, acupuncture, massage, nutrition, Yoga and Tai Chi, or others that often can increase your endurance and confidence to respond to medical therapies.

Because cancer is so much easier to cure when it's found early, we offer community forums to educate our friends and neighbors about healthy lifestyles.

Our educational mission includes medical as well as interested community members who seek information about the latest cancer research, the most appropriate screenings, genetics, biologics, and the newest treatments. Some of our medical resource library is available online at the following websites:

When a cancer diagnosis makes you feel like you've lost control of your life, CANCER NAVIGATORS™ education programs can help restore self-esteem and control through the power of knowledge.
