Plan Early
Reduce your chances of being readmitted and increase your chances for a healthy recovery. Take steps as soon as possible during your stay to plan for a successful transition from the hospital.

- your complete medicine list and instructions
- your upcoming appointments
- what to do if you don’t feel well
