Before You’re Admitted
— What to Bring

Being prepared makes everything smoother. Try to bring:

• A complete list of your medications — including dosages, frequency, and prescribing doctors. This is the single most helpful thing you can bring.

• A list of your known allergies — especially medication allergies, and what reaction you had

• Names and contact information for your primary care doctor and any specialists you see

• Your insurance cards and a photo ID

• A trusted support person — a family member or friend who can be present during physician visits and help you remember what was said

• A notepad or your phone to write down questions and answers
