About The Position
The Mount Sinai Hospital is a 1,134-bed facility with an extensive outpatient and specialty care network and is the largest hospital in the Mount Sinai Health Care System. It offers comprehensive social work services and programming to meet the myriad needs of the diverse populations we serve. We believe that total patient care must emphasize the physical, emotional, and social needs of each patient and their care partners. Social Workers collaborate within interprofessional teams to serve patients and the larger community from both a micro and macro level including both direct care and prevention. Founded in 1907, the Department of Social Work Services at the Mount Sinai Hospital is one of the oldest hospital social work departments in the nation with over 450 licensed social workers employed across more than 65 different program/service areas. Employment in our department provides a pathway to LCSW licensure as well as access to a broad range of continuing education, professional development and extra-curricular opportunities. In this full-time, multi-source-funded position, the social worker will be responsible for providing comprehensive and continuous social work services to children with sickle cell disease as well as other hematology diagnoses such as hemolytic anemias, thrombocytopenias, beta thalassemias, hemangiomas, and deep vein thrombosis. Patients are followed in ambulatory care settings, on the inpatient units including the Pediatric Hematology/Oncology Unit, the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit and in the transfusion room during procedures. The social worker assists children and families with the impact of the diagnosis and the implications of chronic illness requiring treatment across the lifespan.
