Katelynn Torres, MSW, LCSW, works in case management at Broward Health North in Deerfield Beach where she helps to manage patients’ care to ensure they have a safe transition out of the hospital.
“I also facilitate services and placement for our patients who need extra help or care upon discharge based on their individual needs and preferences,” she said. “To meet our patient’s needs, I collaborate with multiple other caregivers such as physicians, consultants, nurses, wound care specialists, and physical and occupational therapists.”
Torres has been with Broward Health North for four years and loves the “fast-paced nature of social work and case management in a hospital setting.”
“It is very challenging, and every day is different from the last,” Torres said. “I strive to be a support to our patients and their families, and to be a calming force to assist them in navigating their post-acute needs.”
