“We are honored to have had Alicia Zaragoza, a caring and diligent oncology nurse navigator, working with our patients for the last six years. She provides moral support, compassion, and is a major resource for the patient’s medical, psychosocial, and communication needs,” said the spokesperson for Radiation Oncology Centers of Ventura County.

As a guide and resource provider for the patient, she builds relationships with her patients that last from their first diagnosis through the final treatment and beyond. In addition, she works closely with the patient’s entire medical team and continues to be a source of information, comfort, and support throughout the patient’s complete cancer experience.
