As a Latina and a minority woman, I always feel welcomed, included, and validated by AONN+, and I appreciate how AONN+ helps with my vision to expand patient navigation in Central and South America.
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.
As the largest organization dedicated to oncology navigation, AONN+ is an avenue that empowers the navigator community by fostering critical reflections and active participation.
