Medical Social Workers & Home Health Aide Services

A medical social worker is a part of a multi-disciplinary team with the primary role of providing emotional support to patients and their caregivers coping with serious or chronic illnesses. Services include therapy and counseling, brief mental health assessments, along with connecting patients with community resources and coordinating needed referrals to address long and short-term health related concerns.
