The Care Management department at Valley Baptist is made up of Social Workers and Case Managers. These people assist the patient in understanding their diagnosis and plan of care. If a patient needs continued care after leaving the hospital, the Case Manager and Social Worker help the patient / family and physician in making sure necessary services are arranged. This includes working with health care providers and resources both within the hospital and in the community.
