What this trial studies

The C4 program is designed to enhance cancer care through a multi-level intervention that focuses on patient navigation, digital needs assessments, and a closed-loop referral system. It aims to improve communication and engagement between patients and healthcare teams while providing culturally appropriate educational resources. The program targets newly diagnosed or recurrent cancer patients who have not yet started treatment and addresses social determinants of health to ensure equitable care. By integrating supportive services and psychosocial care, the C4 program seeks to create a more patient-centered healthcare experience.
