Social Work: Social workers at New York-Presbyterian Hospital provide services to patients of all ages – from children to adults – who are admitted to our Hospital or who are seen on an out-patient basis. As part of your health care team, the professional social work staff helps patients and families understand and cope with medical, psychological, and social issues related to their illness. Our social workers offer many services to help patients during their treatment. These include:

• Counseling
• Patient Advocacy
• Discharge planning

 

Pastoral Care: The Pastoral Care Department has trained pastoral care providers:  ecumenical chaplains, ordained ministers, priests, rabbis, Eucharistic ministers, who are available to you and your family upon request.  Services are televised on channel 6 in patient rooms. Additional holiday and special services are held throughout the year.
