Discharge

When discharged, patients will need to arrange for transportation home from the hospital. A patient's physician or nurse will provide discharge instructions important to continued recovery including medication information, diet needs, activity limitations, rehabilitation recommendations and time for a follow-up visit.

Please ensure you have all your belongings when leaving the hospital. If you leave an item behind, you may call Our Lady of the Lake Lost and Found in the Security Office at (225) 765-8825 or Our Lady of the Lake Ascension at (225) 647-5000 and ask for the house supervisor.

Patients may receive a questionnaire at home after their stay. Your feedback is important to us.
