Social Work

Illness and hospitalization can feel overwhelming—for both patients and families. At St. Luke’s, our licensed social workers are here to help you navigate the emotional, cultural, financial, and practical challenges that may arise during your care. Working closely with your health care team, they provide compassionate support tailored to your unique needs.

All of our social workers are licensed mental health professionals, many with advanced clinical training and master’s degrees. You’ll find them across St. Luke’s medical centers, Cancer Institute locations, emergency departments, and through our Home Care and Hospice programs. If you think social work services could help, please talk with your provider—we’re here to support you.
