About GOOSWA

The Greater Omaha Oncology Social Workers Association (GOOSWA) connects oncology social workers and social workers throughout the healthcare field in the Greater Omaha area.

Founded in 1987, GOOSWA was established to foster communication, professional growth, and mutual support among oncology social workers and social workers in the healthcare field. For nearly four decades, the organization has remained committed to strengthening professional connections.

Our Mission

To establish lines of communication among professional peers while enhancing professional growth and providing mutual support.

GOOSWA is dedicated to creating meaningful connections among oncology social workers and healthcare social workers. Through networking, education, collaboration, and shared resources, we strive to strengthen the professional community that supports individuals and families navigating cancer.
