Going Home
We appreciate your planning ahead to assure a safe and timely discharge. Official discharge time is 11 a.m. On the day of discharge, please make arrangements to leave promptly at 11 a.m.
After your physician has written your discharge order, the nurse will review your discharge instructions with you and provide any prescriptions indicated by your physician. You will be escorted to the Main Lobby where you will turn in a copy of the discharge order at the Cashier's Window. Your bill will not have been fully itemized at the time of your discharge, so it will be mailed to your home once it has been completed. Your nurse will help you reclaim any valuables you have secured in the Protective Services Office. Discuss anticipated discharge dates with your physician so you can make appropriate arrangements for prompt discharge.
Remember: Courtesy parking validation is available to patients on the day of discharge within a 24-hour period only and parking validation must be done prior to leaving the garage. See 'Parking'.
