Radiology Regional Center’s Nurse Navigator for breast imaging

Radiology Regional Center is proud to announce a new position for their practice, Nurse Navigator for breast imaging. Angela Zauner, RN, BSN, BBA has previously worked in the hospital setting and is now ready to utilize her knowledge and skills in navigating a patient through his/her breast imaging care.

Moving a patient through their continuum of breast care or breast cancer care is a complex and highly individualized process. Angela Zauner’s role will be to significantly reduce this complexity and reduce the stress on the patient.

Angela Zauner will provide education to each patient as well as the local community. She will inform individuals on the processes that take place at each stage in breast cancer care, as well as what to expect afterward. Patients are assisted in identifying resources available to them and they are empowered to become informed participants in their breast health/cancer care. The patient is the focus in each of the navigation stages. Angela will provide a personalized service based on each patient’s needs, and ensure that all tests/images are scheduled in a timely manner.

Radiology Regional Center is dedicated to saving lives by ensuring all patients receive a timely diagnosis and treatment and eliminate barriers to care. For that reason, the position of Nurse Navigator for Breast Imaging was created.
