About this trial
This clinical trial aims to develop and implement more navigation assistance programs tailored specifically for Native American cancer patients, addressing the current lack of available support. The goal is to improve communication barriers within the healthcare system by fostering a collaborative approach between the Stephenson Cancer Center (SCC) and tribally operated healthcare systems (ITU). Through this partnership, the trial seeks to enhance patient outcomes by providing culturally sensitive, coordinated care.
