The role of the Breast Health Navigator has evolved to meet the changing demands of breast healthcare. The complexity of breast health treatment and the growing demand for out-patient services requires a trained nurse case manager with the ability to increase patient outcomes and patient satisfaction while containing costs.

The Breast Health Navigator serves as a consistent coordinator throughout the continuum of care assessing the physical, educational, psychological and social needs of the patient. This 4-day comprehensive training program provides instruction in all aspects of breast health. Participants receive the tools, knowledge and skills to immediately become an effective navigator and program coordinator.
