Market context
In Kansas, support-services roles in healthcare are often tied to patient coordination, discharge planning, and connecting families with resources, so demand tends to follow hospitals, clinics, and community care settings. These positions can be competitive because employers often prefer social work training plus medical-field experience and may favor licensure such as LMSW or LSCSW.
