Newsletter - March 2015

A Note from your 
CMSA Mid-TN President

Going into the second week of March and I don’t know about you but I am ready for some warm weather. March is also Social Worker appreciation month. Social Workers play an integral  role in the plans for patients, whether that plan is counseling or  helping patients/clients maneuver through systems such as the VA. I am fortunate to work with Social Workers that are part of  interdisciplinary teams in the hospital, making discharge plans available for patients with many needs is  their  specialty.  So please take the time this month to show  your appreciation to Social Workers you come in contact with. I also want to take this opportunity to invite Social Workers to become members of CMSA and your local chapter.
I am looking forward to seeing g you all for our monthly lunch and learn March 18,2015.
