Discharge Planning

It is our goal to help you return to your home and recuperate just as quickly as possible. Planning for your discharge begins the day of your admission. The nursing, case management and social service staff, along with your doctor, will assist you or your family with any special needs or arrangements for your care. A comprehensive booklet is available, through the nursing and/or social service staff, should you need homecare services after your discharge from the hospital. If at any time after your discharge you believe that you need assistance, do not hesitate to call your attending physician or contact the Case Management Department at 270-7910.

When your doctor notifies you of your discharge, please have someone readily available to take you home. Upon discharge, the nursing staff will review the discharge instructions including medications, restrictions, and follow-up care with you.
