Case Management

The Avicenna Case Management Team (or Social Work Team) is an interdisciplinary team of students and with the goal of connecting Avicenna patients with resources in Champaign-Urbana to meet patients’ health and social needs. 

We connect patients to researched and established resources and agencies in Champaign-Urbana to address:

  • Obtaining medical insurance

  • Preventive and Diagnostic Medical Screening

  • Mental Health

  • Housing Insecurity

  • Food Insecurity

  • Other needs indicated by the provider and/or the patient

How can you get into contact with our team?

We conduct routine social assessments with patients directly after their first provider visit, and as needed as indicated by the provider thereafter. We also can meet with patients upon request if a patient needs assistance navigating social programs or would like to know more about their options.
