MSK Social Workers Highlighted as Oncology Social Work Pioneers
During Social Work Appreciation Month in March, we celebrated the work of our team. MSK Social workers serve as oncology pioneers in their specialty since the 1920’s. The MSK team paved the way for quality clinical intervention with patients of all ages across the care continuum. The lives of our patients and their caregivers are heavily impacted by the practices of our social work team.
