Community health workers and social workers have complementary, but distinct, scopes of practice. Even small, targeted interventions can have long-lasting effects on patient health and well-being. Many healthcare systems lack the infrastructure and funding to meet patients’ social needs. Storytelling can be a powerful tool to humanize data and advocate for systemic change. Funding should be directed toward programs that demonstrate measurable positive outcomes. Strategic, data-informed funding is key to scaling the impact of social care initiatives. 🔗 Follow the conversation and join the movement to elevate social care as a core part of healthcare delivery on Christina's podcast: Outcomes    / @christinarodriguez4979   📱 Follow Rosa Hart on your favorite social media platform ‪@NurseRosaSpeaks‬ For more podcasts hosted by Rosa Hart, tune in to Stronger After Stroke, Aging Like A Pro and The Lou Review.
