Care Coordination and Nurse Navigators
We know cancer treatment can feel overwhelming. We want you to focus on getting better, not trying to keep tests, treatment and doctors straight. A member of your ProMedica Cancer Institute care team or a personal nurse navigator will guide you and your caregiver through every step of treatment, including:
Cooperation
Working side-by-side with you to ensure compassionate, supportive and individualized care.
Scheduling
Scheduling/coordinating appointments and helping to reduce the amount of time from diagnosis to treatment.
Education
Providing education and support to you and your family.
Facilitation
Facilitating/coordinating care provided by an interdisciplinary team of physicians, including medical, surgical and radiation oncology consults.
Support
Working on behalf of you and your family to remove possible obstacles to care, including insurance issues, medication assistance or lack of transportation.
Communication
Communicating with your physician and helping to communicate the physician’s plan of care.
Working with Your Care Team
Patients and caregivers are vital members of the team. It's our goal at ProMedica Cancer Institute to help you learn about the cancer, treatment and the support that's available. Our team is here to help you and answer any questions. Here are just a few tips to help you work with your health care team:
- Write a list of questions and concerns to discuss with your health care team.
- If you don't understand something, ask more questions so that you can make educated health care decisions.
- Make sure you understand your medications and possible side effects.
- Let your health care team know if you have an Advance Directive, such as a Living Will, so they can honor your health care choices.
Understanding Cancer Treatment
Every cancer journey is different. There are many factors that will influence the type of treatment you receive and what your experience will be like. Your team at ProMedica Cancer Institute is here to help you through it all.
Financial Support
If you have questions about financial support for cancer treatment, we're here to help. Our financial advocates can help you learn more about insurance coverage, disability, applying for Medicaid and payment plan options. Learn more about financial assistance at ProMedica.
Patient Resources
Throughout your cancer journey, we’re here to help connect you to valuable resources and services. As a patient of ProMedica Cancer Institute, you’ll receive a detailed patient binder to help you keep track of questions, resources and information about your care plan. You’ll also have access to easy-to-understand UpToDate® patient education to learn more about your condition and treatments.
