Nurse Navigator

Our Nurse Navigator serves as the heart of the comprehensive services available in the Pancreas Cancer program, working closely with the program Medical Director and each patient's entire treatment team. She is available to help patients at each stage of their journey. She will help coordinate their appointments and treatment, answer questions, and suggest ways to help that patients may not know are available. Our Pancreatic Cancer Care Team also works closely with your local care providers to ensure continuity for travelers.

Our goal is comprehensive care to meet the needs of the patient, loved ones, and caregivers. We focus on the whole patient, including not only their pancreas therapy but also their social needs, mind and spirit wellness, nutrition, and physical strength while they navigate through their diagnostic and treatment journey.
