You.

You bring your body, mind, heart and spirit to your work as an Oncology Registered Nurse Patient Navigator.

Your compassion is tangible: patients feel it in the hand they hold. Families feel it in your prayers. Colleagues feel it in your support.

Youâ™re equally comfortable with serving as a patient liaison as well as a functioning as a clinical resource to patients, physicians, and the cancer program through all phases of cancer trajectory.

Youâ™re great at what you do, but you want to be part of something even greater. Because you believe that while individuals can be strong, the right team is invincible.

Weâ™re proud of what we know, which includes how much there is to learn. 

Your day.
