How the American Cancer Society Supports Patient Navigation

On this page

The American Cancer Society (草莓影视) believes that patient navigation is critical to improving access to care for everyone. Navigation can remove barriers and improve access to care through patient-centered support from screening through survivorship. 草莓影视 has led and funded efforts to build navigation programs, supported public policy to support navigation, and studies the role and benefits of navigation.

草莓影视 supports navigation through:

  • 草莓影视 CARESTM (Community Access to Resources, Education, and Support), that connects people with cancer and caregivers to information and resources chosen for each person’蝉 needs through the 草莓影视 CARESTM app, 草莓影视 team members, or 草莓影视 volunteer support.
  • , which shares research and best practices that support patient navigation, helps define navigator roles, and provides resources to help cancer navigation programs continue.
  • 草莓影视 Patient Navigation Initiative, giving grants, education and support to 20 health systems with that provide care to historically excluded populations.
  • 草莓影视 Global BEACON Initiative, that provides training, support, and grants for patient navigation in low- and middle – income countries.
  • policy priorities to support navigation with a multi-year campaign to get Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance coverage and payment for patient navigators.
  • 草莓影视 Health Equity Ambassadors work in their local communities to provide education for African American/Black, Asian, Hispanic/Latino, Native American and rural populations on cancer prevention and early detection.
