Dr. Yazici and Tanya Louis, NP

The role of a nurse navigator: 00:05:35

How nurse navigators can help patients understand the different members of their care team? (00:08:11)

How can navigators help patients clarify and organize their goals? (00:09:17)

What systemic challenges do minority patients face when navigating the healthcare system? (00:11:44)

How do SDOHs impact continuity of care for the patients? (00:14:07)

Describe the communication with patients and how do you build rapport? (00:16:20)

Can you share a success story where culturally competent navigation made a meaningful difference? (00:19:10)

How can a care team work together more effectively to address SDOH? (00:22:00)

Having had experience with cancer yourself, what changes would you like to see in the healthcare system to better support Black and other minority patients? (00:23:51)



Dr. Yazici - Namele (15 minutes) (00:25:43)

What is the role of a therapist in your day-to-day work?: (00:26:17)

How do you go about building trust with patients—especially those from communities that have faced medical bias or discrimination in the past? (00:29:34)

When you’re working with someone who may be dealing with barriers like limited access to care, transportation challenges, or housing or food insecurity, how does that shape the way you approach therapy? (00:35:44)

What culturally relevant or culturally affirming approaches do you use when supporting your minority patients through pancreas-related illness?(00:32:30)

How do you honor a patient’s cultural food traditions or family dynamics while still aligning with medical guidance? (00:34:56)

Sometimes we forget that stress and trauma can be tied to a broader social or environmental inequities—how do you see that showing up in GI and pancreatic health? (00:35:06)

What kinds of emotional or psychological challenges do cancer patients often experience, and how do you help them navigate those feelings? (00:37:55)

How do you collaborate with the rest of the care team to ensure patients receive holistic and culturally sensitive support—whether that includes faith communities or other parts of their support system? (00:40:40)

When it comes to support, what different formats do you find helpful—like one-on-one sessions, group therapy, or online support communities? (00:43:45)


Dr. Yazici - Teresa

The role of a social worker (00:46:14)

When you’re working with Black patients who have pancreatic conditions, are there social or environmental factors that are often overlooked? For example, things like access to care, cultural food practices, or social support networks. (1:00:40)

Let’s talk about food insecurity. How would you explain food insecurity, and what kinds of referrals or support can you provide for patients facing it? (00:49:50)

Could you share a story about a time you helped a patient or caregiver work through some of these challenges? (00:52:10)

We’ve talked about resources within the hospital, but when patients leave, what kinds of resources or community partnerships have you found most helpful for patients with complex social needs? How do you help connect them to services outside the hospital? (00:54:05)

Are there any questions you usually get from patients or families that people might not expect? (1:03:44)

How can social workers support mental health that might be different from how a therapist can help patients? (00:56:56)

In this webinar, Dr. Melena Bellin of the University of Minnesota and Dr. Dhiraj Yadav of the University of Pittsburgh, explore the long-term complications that can arise after an acute pancreatitis (AP) episode, with a focus on exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) and diabetes. Drs. Bellin and Yadav discuss the causes and severity spectrum of AP, how and why EPI develops, key risk factors, and best practices for diagnosis, monitoring, and enzyme therapy management.

The session concludes with guidance on holistic, long-term management—including nutrition, screening protocols, and treatment considerations—to ensure clinicians are equipped to recognize complications early and support patients beyond hospital discharge.

Chronic disease not only affects an individual’s physical health but can take a toll on one’s mental health. Searching for a diagnosis, going through treatment, trying to manage pain, and the socioeconomic strain of care can all have a significant impact on one’s stress levels and mental well- being. Mental Health America has partnered with the National Pancreas Foundation to further explore this connection in order to better understand, address, and educate on the impacts chronic disease can have on one’s mental health.

In this webinar, we will hear from professionals working within various areas of chronic disease on the connection to mental health that they have seen or studied. We will also hear from an individual with lived experience on how their diagnosis has impacted their life.

*Gain knowledge from experts on the connection between chronic disease, quality of life, and mental health
*Explore how different chronic diseases impact the mental health of those living with the disease and their caregivers
*Hear firsthand from an individual with lived experience about their mental health journey while living with chronic disease

Pancreatic cysts are increasingly identified during the course of medical evaluation for a variety of conditions because of improved resolution and increased use of computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the abdomen. These cysts are common and relevant because many of them have potential to become cancer. However, potential and realization are very different and most of these do not progress to cancer where it really matters. The challenge, however, is that we don’t quite know which ones need to be followed and which ones we can ignore. In this session, we will review what is known and unknown and questions and concerns on this topic will be discussed.
