Most patients and families we serve struggle with managing multiple psychosocial stressors associated with neurocognitive conditions, care needs, changes in lifestyle, relationships, and system problems. The role as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, in the medical field, assist patients and caregiver/families by navigating these stressors to reduce the negative impact on their overall health and recovery. There are numerous benefits of providing whole-person care to our patients and families – a patient-centered use of healthcare resources to improve care coordination and healthcare outcomes – and the importance of incorporating that care into practice.
