Social Work

Good Samaritan Medical Center's social workers provide support for an array of issues, including psycho social support, referrals to outpatient substance abuse programs or outpatient counseling. They can also assist or make referrals with financial or housing concerns. Our social workers also offer support on bereavement issues and dealing with illness. They also facilitate support groups for cancer patients and their families and facilitate an infant loss support group.
