Receiving a cancer diagnosis brings many challenges. Patients and their families may feel overwhelmed by choices and decisions and uncertain about the steps to take or where to receive assistance.
The CHRISTUS Spohn Breast Cancer Navigator Program provides individually designed “care maps” for a newly diagnosed breast cancer patient and their family. The program’s goal is to guide the patient through the health care maze and help eliminate situations that may cause stress.
