Being hospitalized can be a scary and overwhelming experience for a young adult and their family.
WashU Cares is here to support your transition out of the hospital, connecting you to the appropriate level of post-hospitalization care.
We ask that you schedule a meeting with our team to make sure you are connected to the appropriate resources.
Our office can support you with:
- Communicating with professors about missed classes or exams
- Requesting and understanding your discharge summary
- Connecting with providers for medical and mental health
- Understanding accommodations including reduced course load and Medical Leave of Absence
- Managing medical bills and other expenses
We value your safety and well-being. To ensure a timely and appropriate connection to resources is made, the dean of students may contact you if we do not hear from you first. For more information, please read the university’s post-hospitalization policy.
