The Oncology Nurse Navigators in Richmond, KY

When our patients come in and they have the word cancer, you know, coming at them, it gets overwhelming.

As the oncology nurse navigator, I wanna make sure that they understand their treatment plan and disease process.

Even though we're a smaller hospital, we still have access to these same doctors that are treating patients in Lexington.

They travel down to, you know, Richmond. And then we have our nurses, they have their certification in oncology doing those treatments, able to handle emergencies just as well as, you know, any other facility.

It makes me feel proud that I form a relationship with these patients. I want them to see that they have somebody they can go to. Crystal's right here when I need her. So it makes me feel really good that I'm here for my oncology patients.

I wanna ensure that they understand the whole process, make sure that they don't have any barriers that may inhibit their treatment plan. It could be financial, medications, and also transportation back and forth for their treatments.

You know, this is such a stressful time. I'm here to make life a little bit less stressful.
