These Texas nurses are helping people navigate through the cancer journey

Memorial Hermann's oncology nurse navigator program provides comprehensive support to cancer patients, ensuring they do not face their journey alone. On "Houston Life," Nurse Navigators Manager Mandy Owens, along with oncology nurse navigators Shernette Sherrill and Makenzie Hancock, discussed the program's impact. The nurse navigators guide patients through all stages of treatment, offering empathy and understanding, especially for those with personal experiences like Hancock. The program includes survivorship centers that offer free services such as support groups, counseling, and fitness classes. Open to the public, the program also supports caregivers, emphasizing a community-focused approach to cancer care.
