FHWs are passionate about helping patients overcome challenges, advocate for themselves, and remain engaged in clinical care. The FHW will help patients identify and navigate clinical and community resources, like resources for food (e.g. Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)/WIC/Food pantries); resolving housing quality issues like lack of heat/hot water, mold and pests; finding and applying for affordable housing; helping preventing utility shut offs and evictions; or connections to other members of the healthcare team or healthcare services.
