The Community and Social Services team is dedicated to helping patients and their families cope more effectively with the life changes and challenges associated with a hospitalization. These experienced professionals are vital components of a multidisciplinary health care team that recognizes how important it is to support hospitalization and health care treatment in a variety of ways. When a patient is hospitalized, it can impact everyone in the family, and our Community and Social Services department strives to provide comprehensive support in a caring and compassionate manner.

If you are compassionate and empathetic, you could be our next Social Worker and provide invaluable counseling and guidance services to patients and their families undergoing traumatic or challenging situations. Your responsibilities include providing assessment, counseling and referral services to patients and their families. We are looking for someone sensitive and perceptive, with a strong sense of community care and social service, who shares our commitment to delivering the highest quality health care to Hawai‘i’s people.
