Social Work
Social workers at Children's Medical Center are concerned about the family's ability to meet a child's healthcare needs in terms of time, money and expertise.
The social services department provides a variety of services, including crisis intervention, adaptation to illness and hospitalization, tutoring, individual and family counseling, support groups, discharge and home healthcare planning, financial assistance, lodging assistance and referral to appropriate community resources and programs.
Families often turn to the social services department for support in times of need. Social workers help find the resources families need so they can concentrate their energy on their child and his treatment, not their other matters. Each social worker is assigned to specific subspecialties ranging from critical care to genetics.
For assistance, call 214-456-2300 or have the hospital operator page social services.
