Clear Lake Regional Medical Center

Breast Center Patient Navigator

Conroe Regional Medical Center provides a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosing and treating breast disease and assure the NAPBC standards are being met. As part of our commitment to providing the highest level of care to newly diagnosed patients we offer the services of a trained professional to help you navigate through the maze of confusing choices as a newly diagnosed Breast Cancer patient.

When diagnosed with Cancer, patients are often left alone to find information, make decisions under pressure, seek the best medical care or housing choices, and deal with financial, insurance, employment or Medicare issues.  These stressful tasks drain energy that should focused on treatment and recovery.

"Patient navigation" in cancer care refers to the assistance offered to healthcare consumers to help them access and then chart a course through the healthcare system and overcome any barriers to quality care. Navigators help their patients move through the complexities of the healthcare system—getting them more timely treatment, more information about treatment options and preventive behaviors. The patient navigator will assist patients and their families through the cancer care continuum.
