Financial Navigation: Bridging the Gap Between the System and the Patient

For many patients, accessing quality, affordable health care isn’t just a medical journey—it’s a financial one. Behind every tough decision lies a complex web of costs, coverage, and care. In this episode, we explore how financial navigation can be a game-changer in that journey.

With a career rooted in oncology and pharmacy administration, Zinkeng Asonganyi brings a deep, firsthand understanding of how financial and social needs intersect. He shares powerful insights on how collaboration between financial navigators and clinical care teams leads to more informed choices, stronger trust, and better health outcomes.

Tune in to hear how financial navigation is helping to close the gap between health systems and the patients they serve—making care more compassionate, transparent, and truly accessible.
