Our patient navigators guide patients and their families through the often complex journey and decisions associated with treating cancer. They handle logistical and administrative details large and small, allowing patients and families to focus on healing.

Navigators are invaluable at helping coordinate care, educating patients and loved ones about their cancer diagnosis and what to expect, and helping find support resources and even clinical trials if necessary. They are a key resource providing education and answer questions about the cancer care process and what to expect.

For Rebecca Alcozer, finding out she had breast cancer was like a punch to the gut. "It really hit me hard," she said. "But I decided to fight back."

At Baylor Scott & White Health, Rebecca had a whole team of cancer specialists in her corner. After surgery for breast cancer and chemotherapy, she's back to her favorite activities. Now with cancer behind her, she feels more empowered than ever. As she says, "When you come through something like breast cancer, you know you're strong."
