It’s simple: Patients need more support. And our cancer strategists (college students!) keep patients from being readmitted as frequently, by serving as lay navigators 1on1 with patients, using our own methodology and outpatient tracking unlike any other organization in the world.
When we say, America’s Best College Students… We mean it. Say what you will about the uncertainty of America’s future, but we’re excited about it, having worked with its future leaders. #itsnotacharity #itsanarmy #cancerstrategists
