Discharge Day
The medical team, nurses, and social workers coordinate discharge planning with you, your child, and other interdisciplinary team members. Discharge time is 11:00 a.m. You will spend the morning of your child's discharge day reviewing your child's needs with staff and asking any questions you may have. You may be asked to stay later than 11:00 a.m. to attend additional therapy sessions. In most cases, children are scheduled for a follow-up visit.
For safety reasons, you may be asked to present identification before leaving the Institute with your child. If you have any questions after discharge, please call your social worker at (443) 923-2800.
