As Nurse Navigators, we are responsible for planning, coordinating and delivering health services to our patients receiving care at Tallwood Men's Health.

A nurse navigator serves as both educator and advocate for patients while also easing some of the logistical complexities of modern healthcare. We want to assure our male patients they will get the coordinated care they deserve and make their healthcare journey as easy and streamlined as possible.

Our job is to:

• Assist with the coordination of care and services and provide support and education throughout their diagnosis.
• Assist scheduling appointments for initial consultations and follow-up visits with other healthcare providers.
• Act as a professional resource and be a liaison between healthcare providers and the patient/family.
• Provide consistent contact for both patient and family throughout the diagnosis and treatment.  
• Advocate for patients and help them navigate through the complex healthcare process.
• Serve as a resource and consultant for Men’s Health services as well as develop a presence in the professional and local communities.   

Here at Tallwood Men’s Health, we are trying to encourage men to address all health issues, both current and future. Men's health experts are available at our Farmington center and at other locations near you.

Please feel free to reach out to us with any questions - we look forward to working with all of you!
