Social Work and Case Management
Patients at UT Southwestern Medical Center are in good hands in every aspect of care, medical and otherwise. Case managers are assigned to each inpatient care area. They’re trained to help patients and family members address financial, social, and emotional problems related to illness or hospitalization.
Case managers also help patients and families cope with long-term illnesses, rehabilitation, and discharge planning. They can assist with arrangements for the following services:
- Home health care, nursing care, and hospice care
- Medical equipment
- Outpatient physical therapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy
- Referrals to community agencies
