Care After Discharge
Virtua’s Care After Discharge program provides comfort and reassurance as you transition from the hospital to recovery at home.
There can be a lot to manage following a stay in the hospital, from new medications to follow-up appointments. Our Care After Discharge program provides the services and support you need to continue your recovery at home.

At Virtua, we’re your partner in good health. We believe that our care for you extends beyond the walls of our hospitals and offices.

- Equipment delivered to your home and set up by our team to provide continuous remote monitoring of your vital signs
- An initial assessment of your condition conducted by a team member at your home
- Twice-daily phone or video check-ins with a nurse to check on your progress
- 24-hour access to our nursing staff
- A next-day telehealth visit with a board-certified physician to ensure your treatment plan is working
- Medication support from a pharmacist
- Patient navigators to arrange your follow-up care
