patients and their families. From patient navigation and psychosocial
support, to extensive rehabilitation therapies to assist patients with
the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual issues a cancer diagnosis brings.
Patient Navigation Services
At Jupiter Medical Center, you don’t have to face the challenge of
cancer alone—we can help. Our complimentary patient navigation service
can help and your family, by providing as much information, knowledge,
support and guidance that you may need to manage a cancer diagnosis and
treatment. No matter where you are in this journey, we respect what is
most important to you and recognize that personalized and compassionate
access to care enhances your quality of life and treatment procedures.
Your navigator will collaborate with your doctors and treatment team so
that you can receive comprehensive and concise updates on your condition.

social, emotional, and spiritual issues people face when dealing with

offering support and teaching you skills to cope with challenges big and
small. As an advocate for patients and families, our social worker focuses
on your needs and can direct you to additional resources as needed.
