Think about being a hospital social worker. These individuals normally have an office inside the hospital, and visit with patients and family in the patient's room... usually as part of the discharge process. These SWs help put patients who need special equipment and community services in touch with those services, and help the patients navigate (and sometimes provide shortcuts for) the paperwork/application process. They also inform the patients about the community services that are available, which many people don't know about.
