Cancer Coach & Nurse Navigator
April 14, 2026
A cancer diagnosis can feel
overwhelming. In our community, patients and families don’t have to navigate
that journey alone. Winchester District Memorial
Hospital offers the support of a Cancer Coach & Nurse Navigator, a
dedicated role designed to guide patients and families through the cancer
journey with clarity, compassion, and confidence.
Callie Laurin, Cancer Coach
& Nurse Navigator, works one-on-one with patients and their families to
help coordinate care, explain screening results and treatment options, and
serve as a consistent point of contact along the way. From early screening to
treatment, recovery, or follow-up care, Callie helps patients understand what
comes next and feel supported every step of the way.
The Cancer Coach &
Nurse Navigator helps remove barriers to care, connects patients with helpful
resources, and ensures they feel informed and empowered when making decisions
about their health. Patients can reach out at any point, before treatment
begins; before or after surgery; and before, during, or after chemotherapy or
radiation therapy. You do not need to be receiving cancer care at WDMH to
access this service. Family members and caregivers are always welcome to
connect for support or guidance as well.
If you or a loved one are facing a cancer
diagnosis, support is close to home, and just a phone call away. Patients and family members can self-refer by
contacting Callie directly:
613‑774‑2420 ext. 6798
Questions are always welcome.
Together, we’ll get through this.
