The Cancer Support Community of Central Ohio recently named Leilani Monfort, Home Care Support Manager at LifeCare Alliance, as their Navigator of the Year! This award recognizes her work with LifeCare Alliance Cancer Services, where she’s been making a real difference in the lives of the community since 2020.
Leilani’s role as a patient navigator is truly invaluable to the hundreds of clients we serve each year. Every day, she works to break down the barriers that cancer patients face, arranging for medical transportation, medication assistance, helping with housing or utility costs, and connecting patients with countless other resources in the community.
Since taking on her role as Home Care Support Manager, Leilani has worked tirelessly to remove financial and logistical hurdles that could delay treatment. She’s built strong partnerships with providers like The James Cancer Hospital, OhioHealth, and Nationwide Children’s Hospital, ensuring patients get the help they need to focus on their recovery, rather than their challenges.
Leilani’s has personally delivered medications to patients who can’t make it to the pharmacy, made sure patients with language barriers receive the support they need, and much more. Her work shows the true power of compassion and how a health navigator can change lives. Being There Matters!
