Patient Resources at Weiser Center for Prostate Cancer

Patient Navigator

Navigating a complex medical system can be challenging. At the Weiser Center for Prostate Cancer, we offer access to a Prostate Cancer Patient Experience Navigator, who is skilled in understanding you and your loved ones’ specific needs and can help make your care journey as seamless as possible. Our navigator will provide emotional, educational, and logistical support throughout your journey.

Educational Materials

Knowledge is power. On our website, we offer educational videos and resources that you and your family can use to learn about different treatment options, what to expect, and how to take care of yourselves throughout your prostate cancer journey.

Peer Mentors

A peer mentor is a prostate cancer survivor trained through Michigan Medicine’s Office of Patient Experience. Peer mentors provide support to patients diagnosed with prostate cancer. They share their own experiences, offer practical advice on managing daily life during and after treatment, help patients connect with relevant resources, and understand the toll prostate cancer can take on families.
