Patient Navigation and Support
Studies show that low income and elderly patients with complex life-altering health diagnoses often have trouble accessing adequate health care. Some may lack transportation, are unfamiliar with the hospital system, lack insurance or are unable to afford medication. Those barriers ultimately may lead to a poor quality of life and unfavorable health outcomes. In an effort to improve hospital access, the UTMB League City Campus Patient Navigation and Health Resource Center will provide patient education, dedicated navigation team support, community outreach, enhanced communication and increased access to multidisciplinary care.
