2022 – 2023 Call to Action Series

The Call to Action Series will be a series of four topics from the Supplement collection and focus on areas such as the national survey, professional oncology patient navigator standards, the impact of COIVD-19 on patient navigation and policy.  

Panel sessions will focus on opportunities, initiatives and coordinating a patient navigation sustainability plan sponsored by the NNRT as well as select member organizations, and will share successes in community outreach, health equity, and patient-centered care along the patient navigation cancer continuum.
