Hospital Discharge Stories

Go here to share your hospital story:
TELL US YOUR HOSPITAL STORY

Personal stories are a critical part of organizing communities and putting a personal face to a policy problem or service gap. Therefore, we encourage all seniors, adults with disabilities, caregivers and service providers to record your personal stories, especially about issues (good or bad) related to homecare and discharge planning.
 HAVE YOU BEEN TO THE HOSPITAL?
  • How were you treated?
  • Did you get everything you needed when you were discharged?
  • Did a discharge planner or nurse talk to you about what services you would need when you returned home?
  • Did you understand the discharge planning process?
  • Did you feel anxiety about leaving the hospital?
  • What would you change about your experience?
  • Do you have everything you need now?
The California Discharge Planning Collaborative wants to hear from you!
We want to hear your story!
We are collecting testimonies from people who were (or are) hospitalized in San Francisco and California.
  • Help to improve discharge planning policy.
  • You can submit your story in writing, in person or over the telephone. All information is strictly confidential.
