CUTTING RED TAPE
The East End Healthcare system can best be described in one word: bureaucracy.
Knowing how to navigate through a bureaucracy is a craft learned from years of experience. A good navigator gets to know many of the players on a first name basis. They do the occasional favor, but expect a small favor in return.
They know the rules that will bend, and the rules that are inflexible. They know how to minimize paperwork and find a way around a bottleneck.
For those about to embark on a cancer journey remember that your therapy will not take just a few days, or even a couple of weeks. You will be in and out of medical centers for months. You’ll see enough paperwork to get dizzy, or you could get a Patient Navigator and let them cut right through it. For assistance, call 631-725-4646.
BENEFIT
After years at Fighting Chance and extensive professional training our Patient Navigators are very familiar with the “bottlenecks”, “red tape”, and arcane paperwork that slow down the pace of cancer care. Add our Navigators to your team and just watch how they streamline the cancer journey. They will get you the care you need much faster than if you tried to handle it yourself.
