The American Cancer Society is the leading cancer-fighting organization with a vision to end cancer as we know it, for everyone. We are the only organization improving the lives of people with cancer and their families through advocacy, research, and patient support to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer.
We are pleased to share messages from Dr. Shanthi Sivendran, Joni McCrady, Nicole Criswell, and Caitlyn McNaughton.
Professional, non-clinical patient navigation is an evidence-based intervention that improves cancer outcomes from screening through survivorship. The American Cancer Society Leadership in Oncology Navigation (ACS LION) is a standardized training and credentialing program that helps navigators deliver this essential support to individuals, caregivers, and families experiencing cancer. The program meets the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) training requirements for “Principal Illness Navigation” reimbursement and is aligned to professional oncology navigation (PONT) standards.
