National Breast Cancer Foundation Virtual Navigator Network

Local Navigator Networks

Mission: The mission of the National Breast Cancer Foundation Virtual Navigator Network of AONN+ is to advance the role and visibility of patient navigation in cancer care by providing a place for NBCF-funded breast cancer patient navigation programs across the country to come together to learn, share, and support each other.

Vision: The vision of the National Breast Cancer Foundation Virtual Navigator Network of AONN+ is to improve breast cancer patient experience by bringing together patient navigators representing a diverse range of patient populations to learn from the successes and challenges of patient navigation programs across the country.

Goals/Objectives:

  • Hold quarterly meetings in a virtual setting so that all navigators spread across the United States can attend
  • Provide a space for navigators to connect with each other, share best practices, offer mutual support, and share with NBCF the real-time patient needs they are seeing
  • Encourage and provide support to navigators to attend AONN+ conferences
  • Work with patient navigation programs to implement, where appropriate, findings from the AONN+ Evidence-Based Navigation Metrics
