Patients Feel the Difference
“It seems that healthcare is a pile of jigsaw pieces My care navigator helped to show me how the pieces fit
into a map of health. It helped to prioritize these, that allows my family and I to make better choices for me.
87% of patients agree that My RN Navigator helped me to better
understand my medical condition and what I needed to do to take care of myself.
