#socialworkisessential

I am a Medical Social Worker (since 2006) for WVUMedicine’s Dept of Family Medicine & Ambulatory Clinics. I received my BSW and MSW from West Virginia University(WVU) School of Social Work. I am licensed as an LGSW through our WV State Board of Social Work and I serve as the Regent of Woodburn Chapter in West Virginia NSDAR ( National Society Daughters of the American Revolution). One of my favorite social work role models, Jane Addams, was also a member of the NSDAR. I requested the proclamation because social work is an essential profession and I am proud to work in the healthcare setting helping patients and the community. NASW celebrates March as Social Work Month so I requested the proclamation on behalf of Woodburn Chapter NSDAR. I’m grateful that our Governor Jim Justice believes that social work is an essential profession and provided the Proclamation. 🙌🏽🙌🏽 #nasw #socialworker #socialwork #socialworkmonth #socialworkisessential @naswsocialworkers @naswwv @wvusocialwork @wvumedicine @wvualumniassoc Thank you @govjustice @westvirginiau @woodburnchapternsdar #wvdar #nsdar https://www.instagram.com/p/CMAakW3DPE3/?igshid=5ggtkb49ta8j

Social Work Month in March highlights how the profession benefits our society. This year’s theme is “Social Workers are Essential” During the Coronavirus pandemic social workers have also been on the frontlines along with doctors, nurses, grocery store staff and other essential employees. For instance, hospital social workers in care management and our medical social workers working in the multiple ambulatory facilities at WVUMedicine and other hospitals. #SocialWorkIsEssential #EssentialSocialWorker #SWMonth #NASW #wv (at Ruby Memorial Hospital West Virginia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CL3cD1IDv6N/?igshid=81xm9xev58hd
