Navigators are advocates who enable the health care system to function more effectively and efficiently
When families have this conversation with a Navigator, it nurtures a safe space for the health care team and families to explore difficult topics. Navigators are advocates who enable the health care system to function more effectively and efficiently. Children’s is firmly committed to culturally-responsive evidence-based best practices. Through FIND, we can improve the quality of health care, and positively impact population health. We must start to treat poverty as a disease and health disparities as a vital sign.
