Healthcare Team and Institutional Support
The most common source of financial support within the hospital system
was through the social work team. Some mentioned that “the hospital
helped” broadly, without specifying through whom or in what form the
support came. The lack of support from other members of the healthcare
team was not mentioned as a negative. Some caregivers and AYAs stated
that the members of the healthcare team outside of social work should
focus on clinical care and not be involved in financial support or
discussions.
