"Be Prepared" Means Succesful Outcomes for Surgeries, Hospital Stays and Recoveries
Potomac Community Village April 20 program on planning for a successful hospital stay, even if unexpected, and successful recovery
Whether scheduled or unexpected, the resulting stress, anxiety and relevant recovery from hospital stays that
include surgery and rehabilitation can be ably managed with the right information and advance planning, according to Jennifer Brown, Director of Marketing at Forest Hills of DC.
In her presentation, "A Hospital Stay in Your Future? Preparing for a Successful Recovery and Transition
Home," Brown brings her extensive expertise and experience to Potomac Community Village's April 20th meeting, to be held at the Bolger Center.
"You can be swinging that tennis racket or golf club again, mastering that new dance craze or just enjoying
being back in your regular routine, if you prepare yourself for the myriad decisions you will have to make to reach the best outcome," Brown says. "And be sure you enlist a companion or cheerleader to be a second set of eyes and ears to help you keep it all straight," she urges.

To achieve a good result, Brown emphasizes understanding your insurance to find and choose the best coverage options for the type of rehabilitation to which you are entitled, and the facility to provide it.
Brown has BS and M.Ed degrees in Psychology and prior to coming to the Forest Hills of DC (formerly The
Methodist Home of DC) almost six years ago, served at the Fountains at Washington House and Medical Services of America, both in Virginia.
