The Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences has developed a Cancer Patient Navigation Program dedicated to improving cancer care for EVERYONE in Arkansas. You do not need to receive care at UAMS to participate in the program.
Our team includes nurse navigators and community health workers who can help bridge the gap between cancer patients, wellness, and financial resources in the community and health care providers. We are dedicated to helping eliminate barriers to health care and helping individuals take charge of their health.
