 Kristin Chevrette, RN, OCN, with McLaren Regional Medical Center, recently completed EduCare’s Breast Health Navigator Training program. She is now qualified to serve as the Oncology Nurse Navigator for Breast Services at Great Lakes Cancer Institute-McLaren. During the extensive Breast Health Navigator Training, Chevrette learned how to better educate patients about breast health issues and how to implement a complete program of education and support for women diagnosed with breast cancer.

Also emphasized was the need for identifying barriers to patient care, monitoring the patient for psychological distress and developing survivorship programs.
