Medical Social Workers provide case management services, outreach and education, and client support services to children with special health care needs. These services are also available to high-risk pregnant women, infants, and children.
Social or Family assessment and intervention are available for all people with health problems or those having trouble accessing health services. Social workers help with connecting medical, social, educational, and rehabilitative services between medical providers, the family, and the case manager. These services are identified in a plan of service developed between these groups. The medical social worker specializes in building community and network partnerships to further the agency goals of resource development and coordination of services for clients.
