Social Services

Social services teams and workers wear many hats. They work to meet patient and family needs for economic, social, physical, and spiritual services.

Sometimes medical care can result in difficult decisions and drastic lifestyle changes at the time of discharge. These troubled moments occur around times of uncertainty when decisions can become too hard to handle alone.

Our social services teams help patients and their families transition through these difficult times while providing the most comforting support.

Benefits of Social Services

Our social services teams provide assistance to patients and families including, but not limited to:

• Helping patients adjust to illness and treatment
