Magee Womens Hospital's Women's Cancer Center Patient Navigator Program

Proceeds benefit The Patient Navigator Program at the Magee-Womens Hospital's Women's Cancer Center. It is important for young women to work through their feelings, questions and frustrations about cancer. A patient navigator can guide them to a greater understanding. How they feel can affect how they look at themselves, how they view life, and what decisions they make about treatment. Women are the best advocates and a patient navigator can help them seek out reliable, up-to-date information and talk to family members, friends and their health care team. Finding good sources of support will help women take control of their situation and make informed decisions. In addition, navigation will encourage participation in research to uncover strategies for prevention, early detection and treatment for young women with breast cancer.
