Team Roles

Medical Director

Nurse Navigators

The Global Services nurse navigators are experienced nurses who oversee the coordination of your child’s medical care – decreasing anxiety, increasing your child’s satisfaction and improving communication among members of your child’s care team. A nurse navigator is instrumental in partnering with the patient care coordinators to streamline your child’s care from the hospital setting to your home.

Medical Interpreters

The Global Services medical interpreters provide medical interpretation and translation of complex medical information to patients who speak a foreign language. They ensure the complete understanding of medical information between doctors, nurses, medical staff and patients. They translate a wide range of medical information that includes medical conditions, treatment options, follow-up appointment details, billing and insurance. Our medical interpreters are the communication link between a doctor and patient, and they strive to provide a positive and relaxed experience, so patients feel comfortable disclosing sensitive information about their medical conditions.
