Clinical Professionals

Our Case Managers are registered nurses with expertise in discharge planning, case management and utilization review and management. Whether they are educating patients on their insurance benefits, informing them of what services they’re entitled to or providing available community resources, our case managers are here to help patients navigate through the complex healthcare system. Acting as a patient advocate, this team ensures each patient is appropriately and safely transitioned to the next level of care. They work collaboratively as part of the interdisciplinary team at HSS as well as with our post-acute providers.

Our social work professionals are committed to supporting, empowering, and enhancing the lives of patients with orthopedic and rheumatologic conditions, and their loved ones, through the continuum of care. Social workers assess and address psychosocial, educational, and practical needs, whether that’s helping a patient cope with a long-term illness, or facilitating a safe and appropriate discharge plan. This group is continuously looking for new and better ways of doing things. By participating in research, ongoing learning opportunities and national conference presentations, they raise the bar in clinical excellence. Here, you’ll have the resources you need to develop the knowledge consistent with providing the highest level of care to the diverse communities you’ll serve.

We’re committed to providing exceptional care in every aspect of the patient journey – and that includes what’s on our patients’ plates. At HSS, our nutritionists work within a multidisciplinary team to provide the care that our patients need. By identifying our patients’ specific nutritional needs while accommodating their dietary restrictions or requests, this group helps make sure each patient’s stay with us is both comfortable and safe.
