Leaving the Hospital

The day you leave the hospital may be a time of both excitement and nervousness, however, your plan for discharge typically begins as soon as you arrive.

There is no one easy route to discharge as every patient's journey is different with many varying factors.

At BCHS we have a “home first” philosophy, which is meant to ensure that patients return home, with proper supports in place, to receive care best suited to your health needs.

Local Health Integrated Networks (LHIN) Home and Community Care Coordinators as well as your healthcare team will work with you and your family to explore all available options to ensure a safe discharge from hospital.
