What To Know Before You Leave the Hospital

Before you leave the hospital, make sure you have a complete list of contacts and phone numbers related to your child’s care.

Include:

  • Emergency contacts
  • Hospital numbers
  • Your child’s care team, such as their surgeon, GI doctor, and nurses
  • Community resources

Tips:

  • Keep a contact list in your phone.
  • Post a copy at home.
  • Use the Children’s Wisconsin MyChart app to keep track of your child’s information.

In an emergency, always call 911.
