Cancer Navigator at Banner Desert

This community-based partnership between Banner Desert and the American Cancer Society allows outreach to those most in need during the cancer experience.

If you are a cancer patient receiving treatment at Banner Desert Cancer Center, a Cancer Navigator can help you:

• By providing literature on coping with cancer, what to expect during chemotherapy and radiation, and dealing with side effects of treatment.
• By referring you to support groups, classes, and other programs for information and support.
• By helping you identify resources for financial assistance, medication needs, home health care, insurance questions, transportation and other concerns.
• By listening, caring and helping you in your time of need.
• By identifying activities that can help ensure a better quality of life.
• By helping cancer survivors learn to self-navigate.
