Caseworker - Emergency Department

Last year our HCA Healthcare colleagues invested over 156,000 hours volunteering in our communities. As a Social Worker MSW with HCA Florida Largo Hospital you can be a part of an organization that is devoted to giving back!

The Social Worker (MSW) is responsible for non‑clinical, biopsychosocial assessments and interventions for the inpatient floors and the outpatient emergency department. The MSW performs crisis intervention, patient/family interventions, high‑risk screening, focused emotional support, and referrals for financial assistance or other identified resource needs. The role includes assisting in post‑acute care placement on all discharges, particularly for patients with post‑discharge behavioral health and resource needs. The MSW is dedicated to patient and family‑centered care that values personal self‑determination, prioritization, and creative compassionate problem‑solving. The scope of this role includes intensive care units, trauma, oncology, NICU, transplant, and ED. The MSW responds to physician and non‑discharge planning social work consults throughout the facility.

You will work collaboratively with RN case managers, acute care nurses, physicians, insurance companies, and other staff members to proactively identify and address patient needs.

You will identify and address barriers to discharge and recovery, including financial, emotional, psychosocial, medical, and spiritual barriers.
