Patient Navigation
If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with cancer, you do not have to navigate it alone. Pacific Cancer Foundation offers free patient navigation for individuals and families across Maui County. Our team provides one-on-one support, guidance, and connection to helpful services so you can feel more informed, supported, and less overwhelmed.
Patient navigation can help with practical next steps, questions about available resources, and support along the way. Whether you are newly diagnosed, in treatment, recovering, or caring for a loved one, we are here to help you find the support that fits your situation.
What Is Patient Navigation?
Patient navigation is personalized support for people affected by cancer. At Pacific Cancer Foundation, our navigation team helps patients, survivors, and caregivers understand their options, access resources, and feel supported through the many practical and emotional challenges that can come with cancer.
Our team works alongside individuals and families to help connect them with services that may include:
transportation support
