Every home, every patient, and every family are unique. Home care is fast-paced and requires flexibility. It calls on you to draw upon all your social work skills. It gives you the opportunity to work with a high degree of professional autonomy out in the community, while also being part of an interdisciplinary team where your social work skills, training and perspective are valued.

Hospice social workers are merchants of hope who explicitly and implicitly proclaim to their clients, ‘Yes, this is a difficult and painful journey, but we are here to help you find the comfort, strength, and resources to manage this challenging life transition.’ Good social work and good hospice care are really ensuring that human beings are treated with dignity and comfort.

Social work plays a vital role for our health plan members. If a member has an issue with social determinants of health, they are not going to see their primary care provider or take their medication on time. Social workers provide support, and we link members to life-saving resources in the community, including food stamps, rent assistance, elder abuse services, and behavioral health services.

Manager, Care Coordination

My undergraduate degree is in political science because I wanted to be a lawyer to help people. But then I found out about social work, and I thought it was a better fit. I’m so happy that I did it. It’s emotionally rewarding.
