Case Management
The Case Management Department at Community Hospital provides an essential service in helping patients and families identify specific health care needs. In addition, the Case Management Department assists in developing a plan to provide the best-continued care after discharge. We help patients and their loved ones better understand and cope with the emotional and social problems that may affect their health. Case Management services are available to all Community Hospital patients and their families to address the discharge planning needs of patients of all ages.
