During your time in the Emergency Department, additional tests may be taken. Once a diagnosis is made and a treatment course has been prescribed, it is essential you understand the next steps. Discharge instructions will provide you with the appropriate follow-up care or medication prescribed. If you do not understand the discharge instructions or have additional questions, please ask. You are responsible for your own care after you leave the Emergency Department. We make every effort to follow through with your primary care provider to notify them of a visit but it is strongly recommended you arrange a follow up appointment as well.
In some cases, you may need assistance from a family member or friend to assist you in your safe return home. If you need additional assistance, please ask. Our staff wants to ensure patients return home safely and enjoy good health. Let us help you.
