• Ensures continuity of care between the primary care physician and specialists

• Guides both the patient and family members through the treatment process

• Educates and supports each patient empowering them to make informed treatment decisions

• Assesses reproductive status and preserves fertility prior to chemo/radiation therapy

• Avails patients with an array of resources for such things as financial assistance, support

groups, transportation to and from medical appointments and genetic testing
