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.
