OAB Patient Navigator

• May 2021 - Present

As a Patient Navigator for Overactive Bladder (OAB), I ensure that those affected with OAB symptoms have guidance through all phases of the OAB Care Pathway. I will assist patients/caregivers to make informed decisions and collaborate with the multidisciplinary healthcare team to allow for timely diagnosis, testing and treatment across the OAB patient pathway. My goal is to guide the patient to better bladder health and quality of life.
