The JFS Patient Navigator team continues to help our clients access health care while taking into account Coronavirus restrictions and safety measures. With 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 over 150 appointments since June. Thank you to our staff and volunteers for their commitment!
