Whether you, your physician or another member of your healthcare team contact us, a single phone call sets an amazing array of services in motion, including assistance with insurance requirements. If you're an inpatient at a Johns Hopkins facility, our clinical coordinators begin work before you even leave the hospital to ensure a smooth transition to home care. In all cases, the first step is a careful assessment of your needs and home environment to ensure care can be provided safely at home.
