According to the American College of Surgeons, hospitals that want to receive accreditation from that organization must add patient navigators to the ever-expanding list of healthcare positions, reports Fox News. These social worker-type positions are designed to guide underserved populations through every step of their medical care.

These navigators accompany patients on doctor's visits, remind them about upcoming appointments, as well as help patients explore options to pay for costly procures. Article
