  • Providing interdisciplinary leadership and promoting collaboration to continually improve discharge planning and continuity of care services;
  • Fostering partnerships with community health and human service providers;
  • Advocating for health care policy and legislation which recognizes and accommodates the need for affordable, accessible, and patient-centered health care;
  • Training the next generation of social work clinicians.
