Survivorship and Care Coordination
Walking in GRACE is a proprietary survivorship navigation and education framework designed to address the logistical, financial, and psychological burdens that remain after clinical treatment ends.
Lead Navigator: Brett Wilson, a two-time childhood cancer survivor with 51 years of personal and 30 years of professional advocacy experience.
The Protocol: A standardized care coordination model that bridges the gap between hospital discharge and long-term home stability.
Integration: Designed for hospital systems, nursing programs, and community health hubs through formal service contracts and licensing.
Survivorship is a Journey, Not a Destination
Today, 80 percent of children diagnosed with cancer will be cured, though many may experience long-term complications from therapy. These late effects can be predicted based on prior treatments and fall into four categories: growth and development, sensory and organ function, hormonal issues, and secondary malignancies. Psychosocial impacts include anxiety, depression, insurability, education, employment, substance abuse, and reduced quality of life.
Walking Miracles has supported 900+ families through this journey since 2012 — from diagnosis through treatment and into survivorship. Our program exists because recovery is not a finish line; it's a new beginning that deserves just as much care and attention as treatment itself. We serve families across all 55 WV counties and Western Pennsylvania, always at no cost.
Our survivorship program provides personalized treatment summaries and care plans, focusing on long-term navigation and support. Walking Miracles supports survivors with tablets that offer:
- Online patient education resources and hotel links
- Preloaded apps, including Zoom, MY Chart, and Uber
- The Reimagine Well platform for chemo sessions
- Wi-Fi, video calling, email, and contact storage
- Direct access to our specialized referral networks and navigation team
Recipients receive tutorials on all tablet features and connectivity tools. Our navigation model provides personalized education and connects families directly to specialized survivorship clinics. We empower survivors by coordinating with primary care doctors and survivorship clinics to make sure that these families are not lost to survivorship. By bridging the gap between specialized oncology and primary care—especially for those in rural areas—we ensure physicians receive the necessary survivorship plans and education on late effects to provide the right care for the journey ahead.
Walking Miracles has helped my family in so many ways with travel costs. I don't know what we would have done without them.
You've Fought Hard to Get Here.
Walking Miracles is with you for what comes next — at no cost, for as long as you need us. Join the 900+ families we've supported since 2012.
