Patient Navigators
Helping You on Your Journey
Because cancer care typically involves many treatments from a wide range of doctors and specialists, it can be incredibly overwhelming — especially as you are trying to emotionally come to terms with your diagnosis and the journey ahead.
You're Never Alone
Knowing how overwhelming the process can be, our Sentara Brock Cancer Center offers patients a dedicated medical professional called a Cancer Patient Navigator. From diagnosis to recovery, they are there to help guide you through the process and provide the answers and support you need.
