“Claudia was amazing. She got everything going and really helped to facilitate my treatment. It’s such a nice feeling having that extra support system—it alleviates some of our stressors."
“Lantern helped me sort through the hurdles and frustrations of understanding my insurance and scheduling appointments with specialists. Because Emily, my Oncology Nurse Navigator, was able to get me into several specialists within two weeks instead of waiting months and months, I was quickly enrolled into a treatment plan that had me on a path to recovery.”
