Empowering Cancer Patients with Expanded Support Networks
The Lefcourt Family Cancer Treat- ment and Wellness Center at En- glewood Health has expanded the care provided to patients through a dedicated oncology patient nav- igation program. Patient naviga - tors working with The Cahn Family Cancer Care Companion Program at Englewood Health serve as a pa- tient’s direct contact within the can- cer center and help coordinate the patient’s treatment. Nurse navigators also help coordi- nate ongoing physician and special- ist visits, including support for the
emotional and psychological effects of cancer, as well as cancer screen- ings when recommended to ensure patients remain cancer-free. In 2022, Englewood Health estab- lished an Oncology Financial Navi- gation Program. The health system also offers navigators to help cancer patients consult with specialists in physical therapy, occupational ther- apy, integrative medicine, nutrition, and pain management—providers who can help them develop strate- gies to maintain their quality of life as cancer survivors.
