Nurse navigators—Caring For You
At Washington Hospital, nurse navigators meet with patients to help guide
them and their family members through the breast cancer treatment journey.
Whether answering some of the many initial questions, or offering resources
for ride services, nurse navigators help patients feel less overwhelmed
and more able to focus on the healing process.

Washington Women's Center has been accredited by The National Accreditation
Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC), a non-governmental, not-for-profit
organization that has been established to identify and recognize breast
centers providing quality care in the United States. The NAPBC is a consortium
of national, professional organizations dedicated to the improvement of
the quality of care and outcomes of women with diseases of the breast.
NAPBC-accredited centers demonstrate the following services:
- A multidisciplinary, team approach to coordinate the best care and treatment
options available
- Access to breast cancer-related information, education and support
- Breast cancer data collection on quality indicators for all subspecialties
involved in breast cancer diagnosis and treatment
- Ongoing monitoring and improvement of care
- Information about clinical trials and new treatment options
Accreditation by the NAPBC is granted only to those centers that are voluntarily
committed to providing the best possible care to patients with diseases
of the breast. Each breast center must undergo a rigorous evaluation and
review of its performance and compliance with NAPBC standards.
