Patient Navigators

Your Tanner Cancer Care navigators are a consistent point of contact for you and your family. They offer practical and emotional support, connecting you with additional resources you or your loved ones may need.

Our navigators help with scheduling, referrals and paperwork. They also serve as a liaison between you and your care team during treatment and recovery, answering questions and explaining treatment options, symptoms, side effects, coping strategies and more.

Navigating Your Cancer Journey at Tanner Cancer Care

One major difference between Tanner Cancer Care and other cancer treatment providers: you’ll get your own, dedicated patient navigator. Our navigators work with you on scheduling appointments, explain your care, answer your questions and help you overcome any obstacles to treatment you encounter. They also open the door to all the resources of a regional health system, making sure you have a holistic approach to care.

Braces and Splints for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Members of the Caregiving Cycle: The Family Caregivers

Acting as a caregiver for a family member can be a rewarding experience, allowing you to spend time and care for someone you love. Caregiving covers a range of situations from those who just need a little extra help caring for themselves to those who are undergoing things such as surgery recovery, cancer treatment and terminal illness. No matter what your role is, one important factor that is often overlooked is who takes care of the caregiver.
