Social Services

Licensed social workers are available at Mid Ohio Oncology/Hematology, Inc to patients and their families. They help link patients and their families with community resources, home health, and hospice services. They work in conjunction with agencies and other hospital systems that provide community workshops, National Cancer Survivors Day and various support groups. Short-term counseling is also available for patients and/or their families and caregivers.

Frequently Asked Questions:

I have no insurance. Can you help me?
Our social workers will be happy to assist patients and their families by providing resources for various options to help with finances associated with treatments. The social workers often work in tandem with the Billing Department.

I think I need help but I am not sure exactly what type of help I need.
Our social workers will conduct an assessment to determine what type of assistance is needed for the patient and/or their family. Once the assessment is completed, insurance coverage determination can be made as many services are covered by the patient’s insurance. A referral to an appropriate agency or service provider will be made by Mid Ohio Oncology/Hematology, Inc. on behalf of the patient.

Is a support group right for me?
Support groups can be found in many locations and in many venues. Our social workers will assess patients and their families’ individual needs and address these needs appropriately. Recommendations will be made on an individual basis based on the patient and/or family’s specific needs.
