Patient Navigator

The Cancer Treatment Center offers the expertise of a patient navigator, a registered nurse who is experienced in oncology and is responsible for streamlining and coordinating the entire, often-complex diagnosis, treatment and follow-up process for cancer patients. This may include advocacy with insurance companies, assistance with scheduling and much more.

Barbara McHale RN, OCN, CBCN, serves as patient navigator. She can be reached at (518) 271-3693.

You can have your physician refer you, or you can call yourself at (518) 271-3775. We'll schedule an initial appointment for you as soon as possible. For your ease and convenience, we have our own phlebotomist to draw your blood, even if the test is ordered by a physician outside the center.
