Execution flow in react native after navigation.navigate

Need suggestion and advice,

I am using the below 2 lines of code in react native expo component,

this.props.navigation.navigate("App"); patchUser(this.state.dataSource.userInfo.username, this.state.dataSource.userInfo.firstName,this.state.dataSource.userInfo.lastName, this.state.dataSource.lastLoginTime);

my question:

will "patchUser()" be called always ? since this.props.navigation.navigate("App") has been executed before and it takes to another component ?

regards
