It’s a relief to come home when you’ve been hospitalized for an illness, injury or condition. But we understand it’s also a challenge: what are the next steps to recovery? What does the healing process involve? Who’s going to help me? Thankfully, your Texas Health Aetna team has some simple tips to make everything go a lot smoother - so you can get on with feeling better.
Follow up with your doctor.
The first, most important step is to make a follow-up appointment with your physician (primary care) or specialist. They’re your main contact for:
- Questions about your condition, symptoms or side-effects.
- Any specific medications or prescriptions you need from your local pharmacy.
- More information, guidance and advice, if you were referred for home health services, or are due for a delivery of home equipment.

When it feels too much, let’s talk.
