AN INITIATIVE OF THE COALITION FOR SOCIAL WORK AND HEALTH

Campaign for Social Work’s Value in Improving Our Nation’s Health

Social workers are leaders in promoting equitable outcomes and making sure care is responsive to what matters most to patients and families — yet, they are often not recognized as important members of interprofessional care teams.

To help change this, the Coalition for Social Work and Health is running a 2-year Campaign for Social Work’s Value in Improving Our Nation’s Health, with generous funding from the New York Community Trust.

The campaign includes strategic communications and coordinated advocacy efforts to increase the recognition of social work expertise, roles, and value in healthcare by policymakers, healthcare stakeholders, and the public.

Help us out by providing feedback on phrases we’ve developed to communicate about social work roles and value in healthcare: https://redcap.link/socialworkinhealthcare.
