🌟 Meet Mary Ellen: The Superstar Behind Discharge Planning at Prince County Hospital

At PCH, Mary Ellen leads discharge rounds with heart and precision, making sure patients have everything they need to safely head home.

🗓️ From the moment you're admitted, your care team starts planning your discharge. Nurses, doctors, and allied health professionals work together to make sure you have the right supports in place, like home care, equipment, or follow-up appointments.

💬 “Discharge planning is my baby. It’s all about making sure patients have what they need to recover at home.”

— Mary Ellen, Clinical Leader, Surgery Restorative

✅ Better planning = smoother transitions
✅ More support at home = faster recovery
✅ Freeing up hospital beds = better flow for everyone
