For patients of the Jones Memorial Medical Practices, social
workers Marcia Nupp, LMSW, and Laura Young, MSW, are important members of their
healthcare team. Ms. Nupp works with women and children at the Women & Children’s
Health Office in Wellsville and checks in with new moms and babies in the Dr.
F. Clifton Miller Birthing Center to assess potential needs of the newborns and
their families. Ms. Young has offices and works with patients at the Bolivar,
Belvidere, and Loder Street medical practices.
“Often the needs of many our patients are both clinical and
social in nature,” said Michele McMorris, Director of Operations for the Jones
Memorial Medical Practices. “A short list of what our social workers can do for
them includes helping patients who need assistance in finding housing, food,
and transportation, as well as helping patients to connect with area agencies
and services.”

and would like to meet with one of the social workers, please call your
