W. G. (Bill) Hefner VA Medical Center - Salisbury, NC
Discharge Procedures
Early during your stay, your health care team will talk to you about your after hospitalization care needs, anticipated discharge date, and how to receive your follow-up care.
If supplies are needed at time of discharge, the discharge nurse will review them with you. If medication is prescribed, it can be picked up at the outpatient pharmacy as you leave the hospital.
If you are on a special diet, a dietitian will counsel you and your family on how to follow your diet at home.
Lost and Found
If you have lost any personal items during your stay, tell your health care team. You may ask your health care team to contact the telephone operators to see if your item(s) have been turned in to Lost and Found.
Survey of Healthcare Experience of Patients
You may be contacted for feedback about your stay shortly after your discharge. Your comments will help us to continue to meet our goal of providing quality health care to our veteran patients and family. It is important that we have your correct phone number at time of discharge, especially if you will not be going to your own home.
