The Cancer System Navigation is a program offered at The Ottawa Cancer Foundation.
Our Cancer System Navigators meet people where they are along the continuum of cancer care because we understand and appreciate that each individual experiences this journey differently.
Cancer System Navigators are health care professionals with experience in community-based resources & oncology. As navigators, our role is to listen, guide and offer personalized support 'in the moment', including finding meaningful, updated, and relevant resources and information that respond to our clients' needs.
Navigation services are offered in English, French & Arabic, and have interpretation services available as well.
This service is offered at no cost.
Cancer System Navigators will provide a listening ear and support you in finding meaningful resources customized to your individualized needs.

-Specific cancer resources
-Health Advocacy

-Counselling
-Peer Support Groups
-Palliative care and Bereavement Care
