Social Work Month

March is Social Work Month and we would like to say thank you to our two social workers, Permelia Clark and Linda Miller. As a mental health social worker on our Transitions Unit, Permelia provides services for persons with mental or emotional problems. These services include individual and group therapy, outreach, crisis intervention, social rehabilitation, and training in skills of everyday living. She also helps plan for supportive services to ease patients' return to the community.

Linda's job as a healthcare social worker is to assist individuals and families as they are adapting to illness, disease or disability, and to help prevent social and emotional problems from interfering with physical and mental health or with their treatment. She also identifies gaps in community services and works with community-based organizations to provide necessary support.

Thank you, Permelia and Linda, for being dedicated to delivering quality care to patients and families at SWMC. Stop by their offices this week and tell them thanks and happy Social Work month.
