Join MNHSWA
Dedicated to enhancing total person care through advocacy, education, leadership, and support.
The name of our organization honors our history and acknowledges that our organization was founded by a small group of Metro social workers to help understand and interpret the role of the nursing home social worker. We remain committed to upholding the values and standards of MNHSWA. We are so much more today! The field of health care and aging services has grown over the years, as have the varied service settings, including skilled nursing facilities, assisted living, senior housing, home health, hospitals, hospice, aging services, and more.
