Things to Know Before Your Stay
Preparing For Your Stay
Knowing what to expect can help make your hospital stay more comfortable. Please bring your ID, insurance card, a list of medications, and any personal items you may need. We also recommend arranging for someone to drive you home after discharge. Our team will guide you through the check-in process and help you get settled in.
Insurance & Coverage
We accept most major insurance plans and will work directly with your provider to verify coverage and benefits. If you have questions about billing, financial assistance, or what’s covered during your stay, our patient financial services team is here to help. We want you to feel confident and informed about the cost of your care.
Discharge & Recovery
Before you go home, we’ll provide clear instructions for your recovery, including medications, activity guidelines, and any follow-up appointments. If additional care is needed, we’ll coordinate services such as home health, outpatient therapy, or medical equipment. Our goal is to support a smooth, safe transition from hospital to home.
