Senior Director, Healthcare Transformation

At the American Cancer Society , we're working to end cancer as we know it, for everyone. Our employees and 1.3 million volunteers are raising the bar every single day. We are a culture comprised of diverse backgrounds and experience, to better serve our communities.

The people who work at the American Cancer Society focus their diverse talents on our lifesaving mission. It is a calling. And the people who answer it are fulfilled.

Cancer care is complex, fragmented, and rapidly evolving. People facing cancer and their caregivers encounter emotional, physical, financial, and logistical barriers that can make it difficult to access timely, high-quality, evidence-based care. Patient navigation is a critical strategy for helping people overcome these barriers and successfully move through the cancer continuum—from screening and early detection through diagnosis and treatment, including critical care transitions, access to supportive care and clinical trials, and survivorship. The American Cancer Society (ACS) has been a leader in advancing patient navigation since its conceptualization at the 1989 ACS Hearings on Cancer and the Poor. Recent changes in reimbursement, accreditation, quality measurement, and cancer care delivery have created new opportunities to expand sustainable, high-quality navigation across diverse care settings and communities. Given these changes and the critical role navigation plays in improving cancer care delivery, ACS is committed to remaining at the forefront of oncology navigation through innovation, care delivery, education, policy, research, and strategic partnerships.
