    The medical social workers job is to perform assessments with patients to assess for any physical, mental, or emotional needs. They assess the family support system and link the patient with services to help with care if needed. The social worker can also provide assistance with financial concerns such as not being able to afford medications or pay household bills. Some social workers provide counseling to patients who are suffering from depression or who are having difficulty coping. A social worker links and makes referrals to agencies to assist the patient with all of these services.
