Learn more about our Fellowship Program
MedStar Regional Breast Health Program has been awarded a grant through the Avon Foundation to fund a Social Worker position. The Social Worker will provide and coordinate psychosocial and other social services support at two MedStar Health locations in Prince George's County, MD- MedStar Health at Mitchellville and MedStar Southern Maryland Hospital Center. The goal of this service is to reduce the impact of socioeconomic and psychosocial factors on patients’ access to timely care and to provide support to those individuals living with a breast cancer diagnosis.
