Social Work Services empowers CMCC clients by supporting their life choices starting with the initial telephone request for treatment. Our Social Worker and Social Work Interns welcome and introduce new clients with a tour of the Clinic, document a client’s medical history and overall condition through a comprehensive in-person interview, and thoroughly explain all available CMCC programs and services.

Under the supervision of the Clinical Director and in conjunction with the Clinic Coordinator, Social Work Services continually works with clients assessing their state of well-being, adjusting their CMCC treatment programs, and ensuring their overall comfort and care.

Clients are offered the following services:

• Supportive counseling with CMCC Social Worker (who is a cancer survivor)
• Follow-up telephone calls (to maintain contact and continually assess a client’s condition)
• Connections to community based services
• Referrals to a variety of professional services (psychotherapy, legal, financial)
• Information on low-cost or free resources for housing, food, support groups, and community events
