The National Association of Professional Cancer Coaches is Your Newest Partner in Overcoming Cancer!
Regardless of a patient's social or economic status, it is our goal to maximize the therapeutic outcomes of cancer treatment. As Professional Cancer Coaches, we want you to know that you can be empowered to live a longer, healthier life.
Professional Cancer Coaches formed from a collective group of degree educated health care professionals committed to adding our unique knowledge and experience to assisting patients. We came together to answer a need expressed by cancer patients for an individually tailored, supportive program. We now take this one step further - and under the community non-profit umbrella, are providing these services free of charge as community wellness programs. Our programs address the critical components of nutrition, environmental toxins, lifestyle, treatment education, resource planning, coping, and overall navigation through the disease process. Our coaches provide a variety of services directed to maximize adherence to the therapeutic plan creating an optimal environment for positive outcomes. Solidly based in independent research and documentation, we incorporate the most up to date information on transformational treatment options as the basis of our program. We strive to be on the cutting edge of cancer treatment and continuously update our protocols. We would like you to be reassured that prevention, early detection and appropriate intervention-with maximum benefit to the patient are our goals!
With the best of intentions, doctors may find themselves pressed for time when attempting to address the numerous questions, concerns and reassurances required by the patient and his or her family, friends and support group. Cancer Coaches are a wonderful resource, welcoming the opportunity to provide the much needed support and assistance to the patient and their loved ones. This in turn, enables medical practitioners to utilize their time with the patient as efficiently as possible. It is our experience that patients and their support network often have increased stress, numerous questions, and a tremendous need for support and reassurance. This is one of the pivotal roles easily performed by the Cancer Coach!
It is essential to foster optimum communication channels between ourselves, the patient and the entire medical team. The sharing of our knowledge and skills will certainly enhance our patient’s ability to defeat this disease.
If you are a patient and feel that you would benefit from additional guidance, support and resource planning, please feel comfortable in coming to us. We are in fact working with the government to make Cancer Coaches an integral part of the treatment team. If a patient requires private coaching then our one-on-one patient coaching programs are covered by most insurance plans. Our programs are meant to be beneficial, not cost prohibitive. The National Association of Professional Cancer Coaches is the first to have organized, research based and goal directed support on a professional level. There are over 200 of us (and our #'s are increasing monthly) across this country to serve you!
