When a patient is ready to be discharged, but not ready to go home, hospital social workers work around the clock to plan the next step. “It’s a very stressful job that takes a special type of person,” says Ashley Edwards, Social Work Manager at Penn Presbyterian Medical Center. “They work really hard to be the patient’s advocate while maintaining the goals of the hospital.
