Patient Navigator: Personal Guide

Through a partnership with the American Cancer Society, Norris Cotton Cancer Center Manchester has a patient- and family-support specialist, known as a Patient Navigator, on our team. Her name is Mel Pepin, and she meets with patients, their families, and the people taking care of the patient to make sure all their questions get answered.
