In response to the Institute of Medicine report in 2005, “From Cancer Patient to Cancer Survivor: Lost in Transition,” the Norton Cancer Institute call to action was to develop a Survivorship program dedicated to cancer patients who had completed active therapy. Dr Sheron Williams, a medical oncologist, started the program in 2006.
As the growing scope and importance of patient navigation evolves, core principles remain at the heart of each program. Dr Harold Freeman has identified and practiced these principles over the last 20 years.
