When patients are called back for additional images or testing after an abnormal mammogram, Trish steps in to help the patient navigate through the process. She provides initial support by coordinating imaging, biopsies, or other procedures. She also helps arrange transportation to get patients to and from appointments and financial assistance and connects patients with additional resources as needed.
Katlyn Wood, BSN, RN

As a breast health navigator, Katlyn ensures breast cancer patients receive the best care based on their needs. As the term navigator suggests, her primary responsibility is to help patients “navigate” the health care system throughout their illness. She is available to educate and support patients and provide practical assistance in eliminating certain barriers, such as transportation or financial concerns. Katlyn serves as a point of contact for patients. She collaborates with other care providers to ensure our patients can access various cancer care services at Mercy and within the community.
