Nicole, Community Partner / Patient Navigator

Nevada Cancer Coalition's [ThriveNV program] is the best resource in Nevada for everything cancer. They are so knowledgeable and willing to assist whenever needed. I always say, ‘I wish every state had this program because the care and knowledge you all have is unmatched!' They are experts at linking patients to critical services needed while in care. They are a great community resource and I feel that I have such an advantage in helping my patients because of this program.

Natalie S., Survivor and Community Partner

ThriveNV has become a resource of resources for cancer patients and survivors in the state of Nevada. The patient navigators have been incredibly helpful as we share resources to help patients, caregivers, and medical professionals. The addition of bilingual navigators has been an enormous value-add for this work. We have been able to expand survivorship programs at a fast pace in Northern Nevada due to the support of the Nevada Cancer Coalition and ThriveNV.

Grecia, M., Caregiver, Las Vegas

I have nothing but good things to say about this organization. Starting with the staff, they are caring, friendly, and very knowledgeable! I immediately felt like they were looking out for the best interest of my sick mother. My main contact was Valerie and she provided me and my mother with all the options we could apply to for financial assistance. My mother was a cancer patient with breast cancer and metastasis to the brain and bones.
