Social Workers are extremely well-trained to drive a change in health care delivery to focus on Population Health, breaking down the old silos of locus and/or specialty buildings. “Inpatient”, “outpatient”, home care, community-based care partnerships…who better than Social Workers to lead these initiatives?
