NINA BEAN PATIENT NAVIGATION AND SURVIVOR SERVICES PROGRAM

A cancer diagnosis brings many challenges. In addition to learning how to manage your disease and the effects of treatment, you may suddenly be faced with overwhelming physical, emotional, financial, and practical issues. Just getting through the healthcare system can seem impossible at times.

We believe that people affected by cancer deserve support during this difficult time, not added stress.
