All patients have the right to their own Health Care Information. Please check with the Patient Representative at 661-7117 for correct procedure if you wish access to your Health Care Information. In order to provide the most effective care for you, it is necessary to plan for discharge early in your stay. Once your physician has determined that your medical condition no longer requires you to stay in hospital, arrangements will be made for your discharge. Hospital staff will assist in arranging any necessary services that you may require.
Family members are an important and necessary part of the discharge plan.
If necessary, community services will be planned in close co-operation with family support. Some patients require other types of care. Should it be determined that this care can be provided better by another facility, our staff will make all the necessary plans for your transfer. If returning home or if further rehabilitation is not required, planning for long term care will begin. Our staff will assist you in making the best choice to suit your particular needs.
