ProMedica's Mission is to improve your health and well-being. That's evident the minute you walk through the doors of ProMedica Defiance Regional Hospital. Located about 60 miles southwest of Toledo in Defiance, Ohio, our facility was constructed in 2002 and designed to promote a healing environment. It also has state-of-the-art technology and private rooms that feel like a home away from home.

The Coping Center licensed social worker performs intervention planning, psychosocial intervention, counseling, and evaluation without social work supervision. The licensed social worker performs social psychotherapy under supervision of an independent social worker, a professional clinical counselor, a psychologist, a psychiatrist, or a registered nurse with a master’s degree in psychiatric nursing.   The LSW assists with the development, assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation of Coping Center programs to meet patient, family and community needs.  Performs social work consultations in other hospital departments as requested.  The LSW functions as a member of the multidisciplinary treatment team.  It is the social worker's responsibility to communicate regularly with multidisciplinary team members working with the patient and/or patient's family, including community referral sources and after care providers.
