    What to bring to the meeting

    • Your child’s diagnosis, the hospital’s name, and what you need help with.

    What happens next

    • The hospital social worker or resource manager confirms financial hardship related to the child's treatment and the Deep Need factors.
    • The hospital social worker or resource navigator submits the internal Deep Need application.
    • Follow up through the submitting hospital professional because no family-direct status route is published.

After your social worker sends it

The family should request status through the submitting hospital professional.
