A cancer diagnosis is life-changing, often bringing not only physical and emotional stress but also an overwhelming number of decisions and financial concerns. For many patients and their families, navigating the complexities of treatment, appointments, insurance, and financial planning can feel like an additional burden during an already challenging time. Patient and financial navigators are vital in supporting patients throughout the cancer journey, ensuring they receive the care they need while minimizing confusion, delays, and unnecessary hardship.

Are you currently a smoker, or have you ever been? If the answer is yes, then there are important health screenings that you may qualify to have completed. Smoking increases the risk of many health complications, including cancer. Cigarette smoking is the leading risk factor for lung cancer and is linked to 80-90% of lung cancer deaths. The good news is that screenings are available to detect these health issues early, when they are most treatable.
