Meet Our VHAN Social Work Team

Patients in need of care often face social and emotional barriers to health improvement. And sometimes these barriers don’t come up during doctor visits.

VHAN’s Social Work Team partners with patients, families and care teams to identify all the factors that come into play when patients are making decisions. The team, made up of licensed clinical social workers, then helps patients cope with a new diagnosis or health situation. The team can also connect patients with resources such as housing, transportation assistance, home health and caregiver support. Team members can even help guide end-of-life discussions.

The goal is for patients to feel seen, heard and safe to bring up their concerns. Learn more about the VHAN Social Work Team here.
