Webinar: Reaching Communities through Patient Navigation to Increase Cancer Screening

Join public health experts from the Professional Oncology Navigation Task Force and CDC’s Community Guide Program and Division of Cancer Control and Prevention for a webinar hosted by the American Cancer Society National Navigation Roundtable (ACS NNRT).

The webinar will focus on CPSTF’s recommendation for patient navigation to increase breast, cervical, and colorectal cancer screening. Presenters will explore implementing patient navigation through the lens of the Oncology Navigation Standards of Professional Practice (PONT Standards), as well as ways that Comprehensive Cancer Control coalitions might promote patient navigation-centered screening strategies through their collaborative efforts across the country.
