Patient Navigation and Support During a Breast Cancer Diagnosis
An educational panel—Patient Navigation and Support During a Breast Cancer Diagnosis—to be held on Monday, June 3, from 12 noon to 1 pm, will provide empowering information about the various health professionals who can help patients throughout a breast cancer diagnosis. Attendees at this free ZOOM event will learn critical information about helping themselves and loved ones.
Panel members are Susan M. Palleschi, MD, FACS, Director of Breast Surgery, Glen Cove Hospital, and breast cancer navigators Jacqueline Barber RN, CBCN, and Elizabeth Dowling RN, BSN, both of Northwell Health Cancer Institute.
Susan M. Palleschi, MD, FACS, Director, Breast Surgery, Glen Cove Hospital, is a breast surgeon specialist who has been in practice for 25 years. She is board certified by the American College of Surgeons, and is a member of the American Society of Breast Surgeons.
Jacqueline Barber RN, CBCN, and Elizabeth Dowling RN, BSN, are both Breast Nurse Navigators at Northwell Health Cancer Institute. Patient navigators guide patients through the health care system and overcome barriers that prevent them from getting the care that they need. Patient navigation helps people get the health care and other resources they need to be as healthy as possible. Ms. Barber is also a 16- year breast cancer survivor.
The event is sponsored by the Adelphi NY Statewide Breast Cancer Hotline & Support Program in collaboration with Northwell Health Cancer Institute and Friedman Center for Breast and Lymphatic Surgery.
