Patient Navigation
Your Personal Guide Through Cancer Care
At the Lima Memorial Cancer Institute, our patients are never alone in their cancer journey. You or your loved one can partner with a dedicated patient navigator, a compassionate, knowledgeable guide who serves as a vital link between you, your family and the Lima Memorial care team.
Lima Memorial patient navigators walk with you and your loved ones through each stage of your cancer care journey, providing clarity, support and encouragement. They also help connect you with resources, such as nutrition, oncology rehab and integrative medicine, as well as social, financial and spiritual services.
We know how important it is to be heard and understood, especially when navigating your cancer treatment. Our patient navigators are also available to attend appointments to ensure you understand your care plan, your questions are answered, and you feel confident and supported. Always.
“The patient navigation program helps patients, families and caregivers navigate the many resources needed during the cancer journey. Patient navigators bring health care and life care together. The complexity of the healthcare system often leaves patients feeling confused, lost or alienated. The patient navigator helps patients by guiding them through the healthcare system and connecting them with appropriate resources and support.”

“When you’re told you have cancer, you’re in a tunnel, and a lot of things they tell you, you don’t comprehend. The navigator was great in telling us what would likely happen next and guided us where we needed to go.”
