Ellen Behnke, MSW, LSW

I am a dedicated social worker specializing in hemophilia and bleeding disorders, and I also support patients and families in the Hemangioma and Vascular Malformation Center. As part of two multidisciplinary teams, I focus on integrating psychosocial support into clinical care and fostering clear, compassionate communication between families and providers.

My passion lies in empowering patients and families with the knowledge and confidence they need to navigate their care journey. I strive to create a welcoming environment where individuals feel heard, supported, and actively involved in their treatment decisions.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending quality time with my family and my spirited mini Aussiedoodle.
