Checking In
At Stamford Hospital, we understand that the process of diagnosing and treating your child's illness can be stressful and confusing. If your child is being hospitalized, we can provide some information to help you prepare your child for the experience. We also offer some basic information that will help you to familiarize yourself with services and amenities that are available to make your child--and you--as comfortable as possible during his or her stay.
Admission
Your child's doctor will tell you on what day your child will be admitted to the hospital. Please discuss with your child's doctor any special steps that must be taken before admission.
A nurse will call you the day before to give you the time you and your child should arrive at the hospital. The nurse will review what you need to bring with you to admission to ensure that you arrive with all necessary information and personal belongings and tell you exactly where to go for admitting.
Each patient gets an identification (or "ID") band when checking into Stamford Hospital. The band contains important information about your child that helps us meet his or her individual needs. If your child's band is removed, falls off, or becomes uncomfortable, let your nurse know immediately.
If you have any questions regarding the admitting process call 203-276-7155.
Discharge Day
You and your child's healthcare team will begin planning for your child's discharge as soon as you arrive. The team will help you understand your child's care at home and help you identify community resources available to you. If any prescriptions are required, they will be given to you or another adult member of your family prior to discharge. Please ask your nurse or physician if you have any questions about your child's care after your hospitalization.
A family member should be available to take your child home at discharge time. If your child is an infant or toddler, please remember to bring a safety seat.
If you have any questions about your child's hospital stay call Kathy Livosi, Director of Maternal/Child Health at 
203.276.7179.
