This team member also coordinates the Oncology Patient Navigation Network to bring together navigators from across the state to network and collaborate. The coordinator will support survivorship initiatives, community outreach and education, and campaign activation in Las Vegas, all aimed at supporting Nevadans affected by cancer with education and resources.
