Navigation & Survivorship News published on March 17, 2017 in Member's Memo
Most navigators will find transportation to be a major barrier to care no matter where they practice. The rural areas provide a distance challenge, the urban areas face missed bus connections and the suburban falls between the two.

Navigation & Survivorship News published on January 17, 2017 in Member's Memo

Sharon S. Gentry, MSN, RN, HON-ONN-CG, AOCN, CBCN
Navigation & Survivorship News published on January 10, 2017 in Member's Memo
