The Academy of Oncology Nurse & Patient Navigators (AONN+; https://aonnonline.org) is the largest national specialty organization dedicated to improving patient care and quality of life by defining, enhancing, and promoting the role of oncology nurse and patient navigators. This organization of over 8,200 members was founded in 2009 to provide a network for all professionals involved and interested in patient navigation and survivorship care services to better manage the complexities of the cancer care treatment continuum for their patients. It views itself as an organization consisting of “professional patient advocates” and, to that end, it supports and serves its members. This organization links to a separate credentialing arm and encourages nurse and patient navigator certifications as a means of enhancing and ensuring the quality of its members’ practice.
