Jackie Glenn serves as our full-time patient navigator to guide patients and their families through the radiation treatment process. Jackie assists in breaking down barriers and overcoming obstacles that might otherwise delay getting the best cancer treatment possible.
The goal of the patient navigation program is to make sure that the comprehensive and varied cancer care treatments offered through The Cancer Center are accessed by all patients, especially those who may not have a strong support group.
