How Can a Patient Navigator Help Me?
The Oncofertility Consortium® created a new position at Northwestern: Patient Navigator for Fertility Preservation. The Patient Navigator is a resource for newly diagnosed cancer patients to discuss, plan and assist patients with fertility preservation services. 
Often, nurses or social workers within the health system play a patient navigator role.
