“Our Nurse Navigator Program has evolved since its inception over 10 years ago. Not only does Christina McGehee care for newly diagnosed women throughout their initial journey, she also is our point of contact for the high risk patients that we identify when they come into our Breast Center. She is the one who follows up with the patients who have tested for genetic mutations relaying their results, sharing management strategies in their healthcare, and referring them to a specialist that is applicable. We are so thankful for the NBCF for allowing us to be able to continue to support the women of Arkansas in such a way.” — Laurie Loyd RNP, Baptist Health Breast Center Coordinator
