Refer a Patient

Call, email or click: we offer several ways to refer patients, all streamlined to save time for you and your colleagues. Our schedulers have cancer-specific expertise and will coordinate care with our Nurse Navigators.  

Classical/benign hematology patients may also be referred. Please do not refer existing UNM Cancer Center patients. Patients with a new cancer diagnosis will be contacted within two business days to schedule an appointment.
