Our Patient Support Advocates will help guide you during your cancer journey— throughout the screening, diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up stages of your medical treatment.

Patient Advocates aim to help patients communicate with their healthcare providers to ensure informed decision making, and may also help to obtain financial grants, provide referrals, organize estate and healthcare documents and arrange social support.

Advocates may also work with insurance companies, employers, case managers and others who may have an effect on a patient’s healthcare needs.
