PRLog - Jan. 6, 2015 - TRUCKEE, Calif. -- The Gene Upshaw Memorial Tahoe Forest Cancer Center, in Truckee, CA, is committed to one thing: Providing the highest quality cancer treatment to their patients. Since 2006, their team of providers has continually strived to deliver the most current cancer diagnostic and treatment methods available in a caring, compassionate environment. Continuing this care excellence standard, the Gene Upshaw Memorial Tahoe Forest Cancer Center recently implemented Nursenav Oncology patient navigation software in support of their cancer care program.
Nurse Navigators at the Gene Upshaw Memorial Tahoe Forest Cancer Center partner with cancer patients from early detection to treatment and beyond. “Managing a cancer diagnosis and treatment is daunting enough without facing the additional challenges that may be encountered along the treatment pathway alone,” says Nurse Navigator Karen Aaron, RN, BSN, OCN, BNCN. The Nurse Navigator Program at the Gene Upshaw Memorial Tahoe Forest Cancer Center is designed to help patients move easily through the process, so they can focus on healing. All patients receive navigation services at no cost. As an oncology certified nurse with over 25-years’ experience with Tahoe Forest Hospital, Ms. Aaron understands, “The patient’s well-being and peace of mind are an essential part of their treatment.”
Timothy Garcia-Jay, Executive Director of the Gene Upshaw Memorial Tahoe Forest Cancer Center, shared that, “Patient navigation has become vital to providing our patients with compassionate and meaningful care during a difficult time in their lives. By choosing Nursenav Oncology as our partner in patient navigation, our team now has an indispensable tool to meet patient needs and achieve the highest standard of care.”
Nursenav Oncology’s software empowers members of the entire navigation team to effectively track patients from the moment of diagnosis through survivorship. This capability strengthens this important and growing program in providing the most current and appropriate, high quality cancer care with honesty, support and compassion.
