Going Home

Your physician will authorize your discharge from the hospital. He/she will explain the details of your release and any follow up treatment you may require after leaving the hospital. The Care Management staff may also contact you to assist in planning for your discharge needs.

On the day you are scheduled to be dismissed, please plan to leave by 1:00 pm so that we can prepare your room for an incoming patient. Family or friends may park temporarily under the canopy at the hospital’s main entrance. A staff member or volunteer will take you by wheelchair to your ride.

Personal Belongings

At discharge, a nurse or nursing assistant will assist you to collect all your belongings and check the closets and drawers. If you leave valuables in the hospital safe, the staff will assist you to obtain these items.
