Medical Social Workers are a vital component of an individual’s healthcare team. They can assist individuals to manage their condition by utilizing a wide array of community resources. They also assist in communication between individuals and other healthcare providers to maximize an individual’s independence in the home.

Medical Social Workers advises and educates a patient and caregiver/family member about their current condition and refer them to community resources to aid with finances, housing, insurance, physical and mental well-being and legal aid.
