Representatives of Desert Springs Hospital Medical Center's Case Management Department are available to help patients and their family mambers cope with the problems and stress that often accompany illness or hospitalization.
Professional social workers provide support and guidance in dealing with an illness or treatment and can help you make decisions about discharge plans. They are experienced in working with community agencies that can provide you with the services, including extended care facilities, patients may need following discharge. They also can assist with lodging recommendations if a patient's visitors need them.
