OneWorld Caring for the Community
Since the pandemic hit the OneWorld social work team has been providing crisis case management to patients, this includes: Continuous screening of food and resource insecurities Delivering of food and gift cards Collaboration with community partners Connecting patients to economic funding resources The main priority is to make sure that our patient families have their basic needs and social determinants of health met, especially those who are Covid-19 positive. This holiday season the social work team invited OneWorld staff to contribute to families in need by donating gift cards. “This allowed more families to be served for an extended period of time” said Nikki West, CSW – OneWorld Social Work Supervisor. “Many of our families are still trying to get their basic needs met, and these gift cards ensure that they have enough food to eat, gas in their car, clothing, baby items and more.” Local faith communities also stepped up to help our patients during the holidays.

Patients leave messages on their doors for OneWorld social workers delivering food to them. The translation from Spanish reads, “We are praying for you and your family.”
