Patient navigation saves lives and improves cancer outcomes. NCONA is committed to work collaboratively with all cancer programs and organizations across the state to ensure every patient living in NC has access to appropriate cancer care.
What is
Longitudinal Navigation?
Longitudinal Patient Navigation is a model of patient navigation that includes community-facing navigators, treatment navigators, and survivorship navigators. This multi-faceted structure creates a wide net to ensure all patient needs – from care, to coverage, to support – are met. The North Carolina Oncology Navigator Association has worked to champion the longitudinal patient navigation model in order to bridge the gaps that our navigators have seen in traditional care plans.

My favorite part of your conference is learning about the latest developments for caring for our cancer patients. I practice in a rural clinic in Western NC. Thank you for providing a virtual conference that allows me to stay up to date with treatments and practices.
I always leave the NCONA Conference with a renewed sense of why I do what I do. Your conference is therapy for me in many ways. Thank you.
My favorite part of your conference is learning about latest cancer resources. Not to mention, Dr. Paterno’s presentations. I always look forward to these conferences.
