UCH Nurse Navigator
A breast cancer diagnosis, and the many treatment issues it raises, can be overwhelming. With this in mind, UCH offers patients the services of a nurse navigator to guide them through this difficult time.
Every Tuesday morning, newly diagnosed patients and those wanting a second opinion can meet with our expert breast cancer experts: medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, surgical oncologists, radiologists and pathologists are available in one location and one appointment. It's the only multidisciplinary breast cancer clinic from Chicago to the West Coast.

You'll meet one-on-one with the doctors, who will both talk and listen
