    COMPASS Program

    "COMpassionate Peer Advocacy Support Services For Newly Diagnosed Breast Cancer Patients"

    The COMPASS program provides direction at this time of great need by offering a "compass" to help women find direction through the support of peer navigators. The definition of a "navigator" in this program is specifically someone who has been through a similar experience with breast cancer, either themselves or with someone close to them, and is at least one year away from treatment.

    The COMPASS Program helps newly diagnosed patients direct precious energy towards understanding as much as possible about the disease and medical terminology, boost their immune system, and become free to concentrate on their wellness strategies.

    Find more information on the COMPASS Program.
