Packing & Logistics

• Bring enough clothing, personal care items, and hygiene supplies for a hospital stay of up to a month.
• If you don’t have someone to do your laundry, check if the hospital has laundry facilities.
• Plan transportation to and from the hospital in advance.

Communication Plan

• List trusted contacts and inform them of your expected hospital stay.
• Set communication expectations: On difficult days, a quick “I’m okay” message may suffice.
• Arrange a point of contact to update others on your condition.
