An Expert Resource for Complex Care
Contact Information
A nurse navigator will contact you if you have a complex or high-risk diagnosis. If you have a specific question for Nurse Navigation, please call 206.606.1024 or submit a request for care.
At Fred Hutch, our nurse navigators are here to support patients who have complex or high‑risk diagnoses. They work closely with patients whose referrals require extra coordination, helping determine which appointments or tests are needed before the first visit. Nurse navigators also provide education about a patient’s diagnosis, so they feel informed and supported from the very beginning.
How Nurse Navigator Services Work
Nurse navigation services are free of charge.
The nurse will ask you questions to better understand your medical, surgical, social and family history. Once the nurse has a better understanding of your diagnosis and care needs, they will connect you with the right clinical and support services for you.
What You Can Expect
Your nurse navigator will provide clinical support and help troubleshoot and answer questions after your referral and leading up to your first appointment with your new provider. After your first appointment, the nurse navigator will transition your care to our clinical nurse coordinators (CNCs) to continue supporting you through your care plan.
Scheduling a Nurse Navigation Appointment
You do not need to schedule an appointment with our nurse navigators. They will contact you if you are eligible.
Please allow 1-2 business days for the nurse navigator to reach out to you after your provider submits a request for care.
