They assess medical and psychosocial needs, coordinate care plans, and advocate for patients to ensure they receive appropriate support and resources.

Strong communication, empathy, cultural competence, and crisis intervention abilities make professionals stand out in this multidisciplinary role. These skills are crucial for providing holistic care, bridging medical and psychosocial needs, and ensuring effective patient advocacy and support.
