Discharge Information
When your doctor determines you are ready to leave the hospital, a discharge order will be written. You may want to make arrangements with a family member or friend to help you when it's time to go home. There is no usual discharge time. Your doctor and/or nurse will give you instructions about your post-hospital care. If you have any questions about your diet, activities, or other matters please be sure to ask.
