The AS degree in health navigation prepares you for key positions like health navigator, patient advocate, or community health specialist.
Health navigators support seniors and individuals with limited health knowledge by helping them access and optimize community resources, medical services, and insurance benefits. They also guide patients with serious conditions like cancer or HIV through treatment coordination and follow-up care. These professionals help clients enroll in health coverage options including ACA Marketplace plans, Medicaid, Medicare, and disability programs.
Serving as bridges between patients, caregivers, and medical teams, health navigators champion patient needs within the intricate healthcare system to enhance care quality.
The program offers pathways to continue education with Bachelor's degrees in public health, health promotion, or similar disciplines.
