Life is uncertain. Sometimes hospitalizations are planned and sometimes they’re unexpected. Whichever the case, current hospitalizations are typically for shorter periods of time than they were years ago when patients were further along in their recoveries by the time they left the hospital. The goal of discharge planning is to ensure a smooth transition from the hospital to rehab, home, or elsewhere. Dupont Circle Village's January Live & Learn program will discuss the numerous areas that need to be considered to make this transition, and the assistance that the Dupont Circle Village can provide.

The presenter, Ann McFarren, is President of Dupont Circle Village in 2020. Ann spent her early career leading nonprofit health care and advocacy organizations, including Planned Parenthood and AIDS Action. For 20 years she served as a principal of HealthMark Multimedia offering health and decision-making information to people with serious health challenges. She has served on numerous boards, taking the lead on advocacy issues, promoting organizational growth, managing construction projects, and expanding musical opportunities for communities. Ann wrote DCV’s Discharge Planning Booklet that will be distributed at the program.
