GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. â March is all about celebrating social workers in all capacities during Social Work Month.
The slogan this year is Social Workers are Essential, and it couldnât be more fitting during the pandemic.
Allyson Tafelski, a medical social worker at Spectrum Healthâs emergency department at Butterworth Hospital, said, âItâs not glamorous. Itâs often we see people on their worst days.â
However, the role is a fulfilling one for her.
She said, âThere are certain patients that you just feel like you made a difference that particular day, and they tell you that you did.â
