Social workers consult with inpatient medical and surgical services to coordinate safe and timely transfers to rehabilitation (acute, sub-acute, or skilled nursing) facilities. They facilitate continuity of care and advocate on behalf of patients and families as needed.
We will help you and your family locate health care alternatives to hospital admission. We understand you will be happiest and healthiest at home and functioning in your community. Social workers can have many roles, and focus on providing patient-and-family-centered care. We provide counseling, education, and referrals to community resources. We also provide support for adjusting to school, employment and military readiness. We are the bridge connecting families to their medical teams. We also conduct individual therapy with adults and children, grief counseling, and groups for those with acute or chronic illnesses.
We reach out to help your family with emotional support, make decisions with you or on your behalf, and help you navigate the military health care system.
We are here to help you and your family through a medical crisis such as a new diagnosis, hospitalization or major procedure, limb loss, and end-of-life concerns.
