Nurse Case Management

Who are Nurse Case Managers (NCMs)?

Case managers are usually nurses who can help you and your family figure out complex health care and support systems.  They are your team coach. Together, you develop a plan to promptly control your illness, injury, or situation and to navigate through the maze of medical care to your recovery goal.
