Social Work Services
A diagnosis of a bleeding disorder, clotting disorder, stroke, or related condition can be unpredictable and adjustments to your diagnosis and treatment plan may be stressful over time. Our social work team brings decades of experience in various medical settings.
As active members of your comprehensive care team, we provide care, services and resources unique to your family and individual needs to assist in illness-related coping across the lifespan. One of our social workers will meet with you or your child during their comprehensive clinic visit, and are available as needed.
