Discharge Information

Your doctor will determine when you are ready to be discharged from the hospital. Your nurse will coordinate your discharge with the physician and any other appropriate healthcare providers. You may want to make arrangements with a friend or family member to help you when it is time to go home.

Your doctor and nurse will give you instructions about post-hospital care.

If you have questions about your diet, activities, medications or other matters, please be sure to ask at this time. Remember, it is OK to ask questions as it helps us provide the best care possible. There are occasions when patients need additional treatment or care after they leave the hospital. There are a number of services available in the community, such as home health care, medical equipment, and personal emergency response to assist you once you leave the hospital. If you would like to know more about any of these services, please call one of our social workers at 687-5288.
