In this episode of Getting to the Couch, we take a closer look at what happens when clients move from the structure of hospitalization back into the community. Our conversation explores the essential role medical social workers play in coordinating this transition — from doctors assessing medical necessity and discharge readiness to connecting clients with outpatient supports and resources.

We discuss how careful planning and communication can prevent gaps in care, reduce readmission risk, and empower clients to continue their recovery journey. Join us as we shine a light on the often-overlooked bridge between crisis and continuity — and the professionals dedicated to helping people successfully cross it.
