The recent sweeping changes in health care present social workers with a variety of new issues in ethics, practice, and policy. Social workers must deal with the human implications of such wider trends as lack of social support and multicultural poverty in urban areas, as well as the specifically medical issues of organ transplants, behavioral medicine, and managed care.
