The COVID-19 pandemic transformed the health care landscape and delivery of health services. To rapidly adapt to this new environment, health systems required responsive, insightful social work leadership. This presentation will highlight social work leadership in a multi-site health system and the innovative approaches used to meet the emerging challenges of patients, providers, and community members. The session will describe the organization’s commitment to identifying and meeting the social needs of patients by connecting individuals to fresh food, addressing social isolation, and other efforts.
