Navigating a new diagnosis of breast cancer can be frightening and overwhelming.
Because we understand that anxiety, the Breast HealthCare Center at Missouri Baptist provides our patients with a Nurse Navigator who will be available to explain your breast cancer pathology to you in detail, outline your next steps, and facilitate those next steps for you. As your advocate, our nurse navigator is trained to coordinate with our team of specialists to ensure your well-being and seamless care and will:
- Contact you after your breast biopsy at the Breast Healthcare Center to discuss your pathology results.
- Coordinate your comprehensive care with our team.
- Answer your questions to help you make timely and educated decisions.
- Provide emotional support to you and your family.
- Connect you with resources including community organizations, psychosocial counseling, and referrals to Missouri Baptist Social Work and Dieticians.
- Serve as a one-point contact for you in moments of needing guidance or assistance involving your breast cancer care.
