Over the last several months, the JFS Patient Navigator team has worked tirelessly to restore the program, taking into account coronavirus restrictions and safety measures. With new and creative precautions that prioritize the safety of our volunteers and clients above all else, the JFS Patient Navigator team has been able to successfully bring our clients to 57 appointments in the past seven months. We can’t thank our staff and volunteers enough for their hard work!

Older adults need our support more than ever in getting to their medical appointments. Please consider learning more and becoming a JFS Patient Navigator volunteer.
