Medical Social Worker Services

Medical social workers are responsible for providing patients with the support and resources they require to fully recover from a medical illness or injury, as well as the resulting emotional, physical, or psychological issues. Following a thorough assessment of a patient's support needs, they collaborate with the patient's family, support system, and other health care providers to develop an individualized discharge plan that may include in-home medical equipment, transportation, meal plans, counseling, or other follow-up treatments. Medical social workers coordinate all available resources to ensure patients' recovery and well-being.
