Social Work

Illnesses, injuries and being hospitalized can cause problems and can be difficult to cope with. If you have any concerns about changes in your health, or problems within the hospital or in your community, a social worker is available to assist you.

The social worker can provide:

• Individual or family counseling to assist with defining illness, understanding reactions, identifying options and resources available
• Crisis counseling
• Stress management education
• Advocacy
• Referral to community resource
