Abstract

A lot of studies have been conducted examining the roles of Patient Navigators in various healthcare settings. Little research is available to date on the roles of bilingual Patient Navigators. This article combines a comparative review of the literature around Patient Navigator roles with findings from a study examining the role of bilingual Patient Navigators at Seattle Children's Hospital.
