At the Breast Care Center, we understand that a diagnosis of breast cancer can be overwhelming and we’re here to help. That is why we offer the services of a Breast Care Navigator. The Breast Care Navigator helps patients understand their treatment options, guides them through treatment, and answers all other questions patients may have – every step of the way.

Breast Care Center

The Breast Care Center at Lovelace Women’s Hospital offers a complete range of breast care services in one convenient location from mammography and diagnostic testing to treatment & aftercare.

A Breast Care Navigator serves as:

• A consistent care coordinator throughout the continuum of care assessing the physical, emotional and social needs of the patient.

• A support person for the breast cancer patient and their family in understanding and coping with the strong emotions and social recovery.

• A facilitator of available community resources for patients and their loved ones (such as gas vouchers, co-pay relief, transportation services, local support groups, etc.)

• An educator in breast cancer treatment options and general breast health issues.

• A personal advocate for the needs of breast cancer patients and their families.
