Harbor-UCLA To Launch First Patient Navigator Program
Los Angeles County Harbor-UCLA Medical Center will launch California's first-ever patient navigator program, which is intended to help people, especially those who do not speak English, coordinate care for themselves. The program, which is free to participants, is being funded by a $10 million grant from drugmaker AstraZeneca and will be implemented by the American Cancer Society, which runs similar programs at 23 hospitals nationwide.
