Cancer Patient Resource for the Chizuk Amuno Community Barbara Einhorn, a cancer survivor and longtime member of Chizuk, has offered to volunteer as a Certified Patient Navigator for cancer patients. She works with patients and families, navigating the complex and often confusing systems in cancer centers and hospitals, obtaining accurate information and services. Barbara can explain complimentary services and resources offered to assist patients from diagnosis through treatment to survivorship. These resources 8
address countless issues, including stress reduction and well being, support groups, therapies, nutrition, massage and biofeedback, to name a few, enabling patients and their families to move from panic to powerful. We welcome Barbara as a volunteer who can provide supportive service to members of our congregation who are in need.
