Our health navigators have assisted hundreds of firefighters and their family members since the program was established in 2012. But what exactly do our health navigators do? Our goal is to ensure you or your designee are properly diagnosed and have information about state of the art treatment. We advocate for you through all phases of your cancer journey—diagnosis, treatment, follow-up, and supportive care. We gather information about your cancer and concerns and provide guidance as you communicate with your providers. We will refer you to an expert physician who specializes in your type of cancer so you will have the information needed to make treatment decisions. To request health navigation, call (415) 621-7103.

September is National Prostate Cancer Awareness Mo

September is National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. Most prostate cancer is diagnosed in men older than 65, but firefighters also have a 20% increased risk of getting it. In fact, prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers that firefighters are susceptible to. We strongly urge each and every active and retired firefighter to schedule an annual health check with their primary care physician. Early detection is the first step is reducing the numbers of firefighters whose lives are taken by cancer!
