Hospitalizations - Prepare In Advance

 The following documents can help remove many of the dangerous elements a stint in the hospital or emergency room can create.

PwP must be protected and advocated for at all times!

RECOMMENDED: 

• Download all documents, four copies of each.  
• Keep TWO copies in your PwP "to-go bag".   Take one copy to ALL  medical facilities your PwP visits and have them placed in their medical charts.   
• On ER visits have the " Hospital Fact Sheet 920.1 " immediately added to his chart.  Make sure it is reviewed by all nurses & doctors. 

Do Not Trust Hospital Staff to know this info, Not Even Doctors!
