Social Services is part of the Case Management Department, which helps patients, families and doctors obtain prompt access to our spectrum of health care and wellness services.

The Social Services Department helps individuals and families cope with the impact of illness and hospitalization, plan for post-hospital care, or handle physical/emotional/social problems at home. The social worker offers practical help and advocacy in locating appropriate resources, equipment, referral sources or aftercare facilities and helps in coordinating hospital and community services on your behalf. The social worker also provides counseling services to help you and your family talk over social and emotional concerns and explore solutions related to your health care needs.

Your social worker will see you privately to discuss your needs. If appropriate, with your approval, the social worker will speak with your family and your doctor to obtain further information about your needs and concerns and help you handle them.
