A program at St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital providing a lifeline for sick kids and their families is looking to expand.
There are currently five nurse navigators at St. Joseph's Children's Hospital who serve as a bridge between patients and providers. The hospital hopes to grow the program and is using the Heroes Ball hosted by the St. Joseph’s Children’s Hospital Foundation to raise $2 million to help fund five new nurse navigator positions to provide critical support.
Nurse navigators currently work in cardiology, oncology and OB departments. New positions would help patient families with neurology, endocrinology and gastrointestinal needs.
