🤝 What a Hospital Social Worker Does

The person who handles everything medicine can't fix.

  • They assess your living situation, mobility, and support network to identify potential risks.
  • If you cannot manage your daily needs alone, they coordinate necessary equipment or professional assistance before you leave the hospital.
