with ucsf, the cancer resource center helped advance research in cancer patient navigation
The Cancer Resource Centers of Mendocino County’s Patient Navigation program provides cancer patients, cancer survivors, and the family and friends who support them with the information and support they need to understand and manage diagnostic and treatment options, surmount financial and logistic hurdles, and maintain their family and professional life while undergoing treatment. As one of only two stand-alone centers between Marin County and the California-Oregon border, CRC’s services are a vital resource for Mendocino County residents. Ask us how we can help you today.
