The LCSW will deploy interventions that improve health literacy while fostering relationships with community-based organizations that integrates patients into larger support and care management initiatives. All program initiatives are team-based, integrating multiple providers comprised from both clinical and non-clinical roles to address all the unmet needs of our community's vulnerable patients.
