What Is Medical Social Services?

Medical Social Services are support services provided to individuals and families to help navigate the emotional, social, and financial challenges that arise during a medical crisis, illness, or recovery. These services are typically offered by Medical Social Workers (MSWs), professionals trained to assist with both the medical and socio-economic aspects of healthcare.

Medical social services help address the psychological, emotional, and practical needs of patients and their families, ensuring that they receive the support they need during difficult times.
