Feel confident about going home.

Leaving our hospital after an inpatient stay might feel both joyful and stressful. If you’re worried that you’re not prepared, it’s understandable. We’ve heard this concern from many parents.

There are many things to think about. That’s why we’ve developed a checkout checklist. It can help you ask the right questions and ensure you are covering off on the details.
