Department of Clinical Social Work
Speaking with a Social Worker
Social workers are here to help you and welcome your call. We
are available for all hospitalized patients and all patients seen
in our clinics and emergency rooms. In general, your communication
with a social worker is protected by law and cannot be released
without your consent. However, in order to provide you with the
best care, we may share some information with other members of your
health care team. If you have questions about our confidentiality
policy, please ask your social worker.
Contact Us
If you or a member of your family would like to speak with one
of our social workers, please call 444-5711.
Hours of Operation
The department is open Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. On nights, weekends and holidays, social work is available for urgent situations. Our services are free of charge.
