I started in oncology navigation feeling excited but also overwhelmed, then I discovered AONN+ and immediately felt relief that there is a community of navigators and a wealth of resources to help with my professional growth.
How the Academy of Oncology Nurse & Patient Navigators (AONN+) helped me build and grow St. Elizabeth Cancer Center’s patient navigation program that is changing the landscape of the quality of care that we provide our patients.
AONN+ has enabled navigators to become connectors since the start of the pandemic to transmit knowledge, resources, and solutions to address health concerns of underserved communities.
President of Native American Cancer Research Corporation (NACR) reflects on how AONN+ helps improve cancer programs in the indigenous community and build a worldwide community of indigenous navigators.
Since 2015, AONN+ has helped foster a sense of collective community among oncology professionals in the Upstate region of South Carolina through meetings, networking, and education.
The Academy of Oncology Nurse & Patient Navigators (AONN+) always stands ready to support our members and the oncology navigator community with innovative education, tools, and resources.
Reflecting on her navigator career path in the past 10 years, Deidra Hamilton, director of an oncology navigation program in Nevada and California, says the AONN+ membership gives her innovative education on how to do her job and resources to better help her patients.
AONN+ member Chelsea Passwater reflects on how she has sought out opportunities to grow, and AONN+ gives her the resources to achieve that goal.
As the largest organization dedicated to oncology navigation, AONN+ is an avenue that empowers the navigator community by fostering critical reflections and active participation.
To provide optimal care for patients with cancer, we must be able to provide equitable care for all. The Academy of Oncology Nurse & Patient Navigators (AONN+) has been striving to create opportunities for all its members that will contribute to providing equitable care.
