Social Work

The EWPCN Social Workers provides support to patients to help them navigate the health care system or access essential community resources to improve or maintain their health and well being. 

Working alongside your family doctor, our social workers offer solution-focused interventions and assist with practical matters, such as:

  • financial services (income support and debt management, forms)
    medication coverage options
  • linking to community resources (seniors services, disability supports, domestic violence, career and employment counselling, caregiver support and legal services)
  • guidance for available housing options
  • personal affairs support (personal directives, enduring power of attorney, wills, guardianship)

Each year our Social Workers provide care to over 1,500 patients.

If you could benefit from this health service, ask your family doctor for a referral today.
