Navigation Team

Guidance based on empathy and experience

A cancer diagnosis can come with an overwhelming amount of information, choices to sort through, and appointments to schedule—putting even more on your plate. That’s why the Parkview Packnett Family Cancer Institute (PFCI) provides you with navigators to help make sense of things. This is your go-to team for working closely with social workers, nutritionists, case managers, and oncological providers and staff to connect the dots between needs and resources along your cancer-care journey.
