Rachel is a licensed clinical social worker for OHSU’s Outpatient Neurology team. Previously, she was OHSU’s Inpatient Care Management team where she was the social worker for the neurology floors within the hospital. Rachel obtained her undergraduate degree at the University of Iowa and her Master’s in Social Work at St. Louis University. Her education mainly focused on aging, chronic disease management, and palliative care. Rachel has been practicing as a licensed clinical social worker for nearly 20 years, primarily focused on the older adult population—adjustment to disease, caregiver burnout, Medicare/Medicaid and social security/disability challenges, long term care, and hospice and end of life. She strives to ensure that patients and their families have the tools and resources needed to be as successful as possible, even amongst health challenges.
Rachel has resided in the Portland area for the past 18 years. She enjoys hiking, riding her new electric bike, and watching football. If you asked her 2 teenagers how they would describe her, they would undoubtedly tell you to watch out on April Fool’s Day. That is Rachel’s favorite holiday, a prankster at heart, always looking to make people smile and laugh.
