Cancer Survivorship Program for El Paso

CRBCM met tonight with CIMA Hospice Administrator Michele Diaz Aboud,
discussed referral to Hospice but also looked at how some Hospice services could be integrated
in an overall Survivorship program.  We also discussed the level of government reimbursement by Medicare (and in some cases Medicaid).  We will be working with their support on future grant applications.  We concluded by discussing some of the ideas about improvement in Navigation of patient diagnosed with Cancer, and policy recommendations.  In attendance was Cynthia McWilliams of the same organization.  Great meeting!
