This Year's Harris County Pathways Community HUB Program Champion Award:
Honoring Debbie Levin, LCSW at Memorial Hermann Hospital, Southwest Debbie's Bio, in her own words: "I have over 30 years’ experience as a hospital social worker, specializing in women’s and children’s services. I began my career at the University of Texas Medical Branch where I worked for 2 decades. I was also a social worker at Texas Children’s for several years, in the hospital and in their community clinics. It was at Texas Children’s Pediatrics (TCP) Cullen where I connected in a very meaningful and direct way with community resources and that passion for community connectedness has remained in my heart. I assumed leadership positions at Texas Children’s as a senior social worker for TCP and at Texas Children’s Health Plan as the Manager of Behavioral Health and Complex Care Case Management for Medicaid and CHIP. Much of my career at Texas Children’s focused on behavioral health and social determinants of health, reducing health disparities and linking patients and families directly to care and community resources. For the past 3 ½ years, I have been the Mother/Baby social worker at Memorial Hermann Southwest. In this role, I have developed many new connections with community agencies in order to help the women and families I serve gain and receive access to services with the goal of reducing maternity morbidity and mortality and helping generations to come. I can contribute the knowledge of perinatal social work and hospital processes, as well as the benefits of providing direct linkage to community resources and “warm handoffs.” I can also attest to the importance of assessing and addressing women’s mental health, substance use, trauma history, safety and social determinants of health during pregnancy and at delivery in order to not only help the patient, but the infant, her family, and generations to come." |
