Social Work Services

The Department of Social Work Services offers professional psychosocial needs assessments, interventions, and coordination of community resources by qualified, experienced staff. We work in conjunction with the other members of your medical team, for individuals and families to better face the challenges of a health crisis and to maximize recovery efforts.

Social work services are available Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 4:30pm, for patients, families, and community inquiries throughout the Newport Hospital and Health Services district – which includes Newport Hospital, Emergency Department, Family Health Center and Family Medicine clinics, River Mountain Village, and Long Term Care.

We have two full time social workers with diverse professional experience. The department’s mission upholds the inherent dignity and right for all persons to receive services regardless of race, religion, orientation, or cultural differences.

We are proud to be a part of Public Hospital District #1 and a member of your medical team. Calls and inquiries are welcome at 509-447-9402.
