## Care Coordination Overview

Care Coordination's Social Work Case Managers are available to help students, employees, and retirees who receive their primary care at HUHS. We can support you in making informed decisions about your medical, social, emotional, insurance, and vocational issues related to injury or illness. Our goal is to assist you in navigating the health care system and in getting the care you need. We do not make decisions for you but rather help give you the tools you need to do so.

Contact us today by email or phone at <a href="">**carecoordination@huhs.harvard.edu**</a> or **(617) 495-3271**.

*\*We share a link to “Honoring Choices Massachusetts” to help you learn about health care proxies and planning for future care. Honoring Choices Massachusetts is a consumer-oriented non-profit organization focused on the rights of every adult to direct their health care choices and make a plan to receive the best possible care over their lifetime. This site offers information, including multilingual videos and forms that consumers can access and download at no cost. Honoring Choices Massachusetts is a community resource and is not affiliated with Harvard University Health Services. Please note that these resources do not replace talking with your doctor, nurse practitioner, case manager, or a lawyer.*

*If you have questions about these forms or about your health care, please talk with your care team here at Harvard University Health Services or with a lawyer or trusted advisor. Laws can change, and your individual situation may require specific legal guidance.*
