Signature Project: Breast Health Navigator Program

Both the patient and her family receive guidance and care throughout the entire diagnostic, treatment and recovery process from the Breast Health Navigator. This is a unique program of support and educational counseling on the North Shore, and in the state of Massachusetts there are fewer than 20 professionals certified in this novel approach to delivery of care. |
