    Academy of Oncology Nurse & Patient Navigators
    The Academy of Oncology Nurse & Patient Navigators (AONN+) is the largest national specialty organization dedicated to improving patient care and quality of life by defining, enhancing, and promoting the role of oncology nurse and patient navigators. Our organization of over 8,900 members was founded in May 2009 to provide a network for all professionals involved and interested in patient navigation and survivorship care services to better manage the complexities of the cancer care treatment continuum for their patients. We view our organization as one consisting of “professional patient advocates” and, to that end, we support and serve our members.
    Journal of Oncology Navigation & Survivorship
    The Journal of Oncology Navigation & Survivorship (JONS) promotes reliance on evidence-based practices in navigating patients with cancer and their caregivers through diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship. JONS also seeks to strengthen the role of nurse and patient navigators in cancer care by serving as a platform for these professionals to disseminate original research findings, exchange best practices, and find support for their growing community.

The Light at the End of the Journey

April 2017 Vol 3 No 2

The white frame represents the time when we, as a married couple, were innocent of the disease, and what was about to happen to us. The black stands for the despair that accompanies a cancer diagnosis. The red represents the anger that comes from trying to live a healthy life and still being stricken with this disease. The purple stands for academe and the medical research that may lead not just to a cure, but to prevention as well. The gold is for the hope that springs eternal in every heart. The gray path stands for the uncertainty that is always with those trying to find their way forward to a cure. The bright light spilling out the open door is the hopeful prospect of being able to defeat the disease. The couple, walking hand-in-hand, symbolizes the loving teamwork that makes the difficult journey so much easier to bear.
