EAST TEXAS CANCER ALLIANCE OF HOPE

.the East Texas Alliance of Hope and we are a CareNavigation is a full-service navigation, case management, and resource service. Navigation services are critical to the overall care of an individual as many times, the medical diagnosis is not the most pressing issue when it comes to a person’s overall well-being. Historically, navigation programs have supported patients with cancer through patient navigation programs but have expanded to focus on other populations to become more of a wrap-around support for the community. The mission of CareNavigation is to equip individuals and families with the tools and resources needed to build healthy homes that promote positive change in the communities served through intensive case management, education, wellness, prevention, and community partnerships. CareNavigation will assist clients in overcoming the barriers to equitable health and financial education, transportation, housing insecurities, food insecurities, and other basic human needs by serving as the community liaison to the many social service organizations within the communities served. CareNavigation will utilize social workers and community health workers to provide intensive case management by implementing a strategic intake, assessment, intervention, and evaluation process to ensure the client’s needs are met. CareNavigation will serve all of Angelina County, including uninsured, underinsured, and middle-class families who would typically not qualify for many social services.
