Social Work Services

Having a child in the hospital can be a difficult time for your family. At the University of Chicago Medicine, social workers play an integral role in providing the best possible care for your child during his or her hospital stay and outpatient treatment.

Social workers are available to assist your child and family by offering:

• Counseling and support
• Help to understand your child’s medical condition and how it impacts your family
• Crisis intervention
• Access to appropriate resources
• Reassurance of safe conditions for your child

Look for our social workers in every clinical area throughout the University of Chicago Medicine Comer Children’s Hospital and clinics.
