    Social workers also act as the care coordinator for assigned individuals and their families, initiating referrals as necessary and supervising and directing caregivers regarding the care of our clients. When needed, social workers collaborate with a clients’ other healthcare professionals to make sure that all health needs are being considered.

    In many cases, clients are regularly scheduled for doctor’s appointments due to chronic conditions, so social workers make sure to add transportation to medical appointments and follow-up visits into regular care schedules.
