Medical Social Worker
A Medical Social Worker is a professional who helps patients and their families navigate the emotional and social challenges that arise during medical treatment. They provide support by offering counseling, connecting patients to community resources, and assisting with healthcare decisions. Their goal is to improve the overall well-being of patients in hospitals, clinics, or other healthcare settings.
In addition to emotional support, Medical Social Workers also advocate for patients' rights and help them understand their treatment options. They work closely with doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals to ensure that patients receive comprehensive care tailored to their individual needs.
