Social Workers at NYC Health + Hospitals help people recognize their own strengths, build resilience, and make meaning. They are trauma-informed clinicians, vocal advocates, and key interdisciplinary partners. Our patients and their loved ones rely on professional Social Workers to help identify biopsychosocial-spiritual needs, to collaboratively set wellness goals, and to maximize self-determination. As the circulatory system of NYC Health + Hospitals, our Social Workers are uniquely qualified not only to address the emotional and psychosocial needs of our patients, but also to improve patient satisfaction.

We are trauma-informed clinicians, vocal advocates, critical connection builders, and essential members of NYC Health + Hospitals healthcare teams. We amplify the voices of our city's most vulnerable, and provide care that honors agency and respects dignity.

In alignment with the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) Code of Ethics & practice standards set forth by the NYS Office of the Professions, our mission is to continuously demonstrate and promote the profession of Social Work's core values in support of patients, their families and their communities. We do this in full support of our System's mission to deliver high quality, whole-person health services with compassion, dignity, and respect to all, without exception.
