A nurse navigator is a registered nurse with clinical oncology knowledge specializing in assisting and guiding oncology patients through the different phases of their cancer journey. These nurses serve as the primary point of contact for patients and they assist the patient in making informed decisions, educating patients on the plan for their care and treatment, coordinating the different aspects of the patient’s care, advocating for patients’ needs, accessing supportive care resources and assisting them throughout the healthcare systems.
We are proud to partner with Medicare and some Cigna plans to offer an Oncology Care Model Program to further assist qualifying patients. These dedicated OCM Care Managers are registered nurses that walk hand-in-hand with patients to track health metrics, act as a liaison in their care, and are available for direct contact during your journey here at West. Qualifying patients will be contacted after their initial visit to learn more about this program. Should you have further questions, please talk with your physician or contact [email protected].
Phlebotomy Appointments:
Please notify your provider if you are taking Biotin supplements. Biotin can affect laboratory results, and it is recommended to avoid taking Biotin supplements 2 days prior to lab draws. Also, please be aware that your lab draws are analyzed in real time before your physician appointment. This comprehensive analysis usually takes 45 minutes – 1 hour to complete, which is about the time that patients should expect to wait in between lab and physician visits.
Guide to Infusion
If you are receiving chemotherapy or another form of infusion during your appointment with us, we have put together a short video to share detailed information on what to expect during your visit.
