Medical Social Services
Navigating Challenges, Together
Medical Social Services are designed to provide support for the social, emotional, and practical challenges that may arise due to an illness or medical condition. Our medical social workers are dedicated to helping patients and their families navigate complex situations with compassion and expertise, ensuring that every aspect of their care and well-being is addressed.
-
Comprehensive evaluations to understand how social and emotional dynamics affect the patient’s illness and care needs.
-
Providing guidance and emotional support for patients and their families, addressing concerns about home and family situations, caregiving responsibilities, or major life adjustments.
-
Assisting in identifying and accessing local resources, such as support groups, transportation services, financial aid programs, and housing options to meet the patient’s needs.
-
Helping arrange for transitional care, such as placement in a facility when in-home care is no longer sufficient, or connecting with respite care services to provide family caregivers with relief.
-
Guiding patients and families through healthcare systems, helping them understand their rights, and advocating for the necessary resources or services.
