Preparing for Your Discharge
How to Continue Your Care at Home
We may all be patients in the hospital at some point in our lives. Because
we are committed to the health, well-being and safety of our patients,
we want you to be prepared when you are ready to be discharged from the hospital.

the hospital. Please print them out and share them with your family and
friends as you participate in the healthcare system.
