Your attending physician will tell you in advance when you may be discharged from the hospital. Please be sure to check your room carefully for any personal items you have brought with you and to collect any valuables placed in the safe.
Your doctor will prepare special discharge instructions for your nurse to review with you and/or a family member prior to going home. This is an appropriate time for you to ask any questions concerning your recuperation. All family members and caregivers are invited to attend a group meeting on caregiver advice offered at 4 PM every Thursday in the fourth-floor conference room.
Upon discharge, you will be escorted to the main entrance on Delaware Avenue (main lobby) at the canopy drive-through entrance. The person providing your transportation may leave their car under the canopy briefly while they are picking you up.
