For When the Emergency Call Comes
Part of The First 72 Hours™ Collection
One phone call can change everything.
A loved one has been taken to the Emergency Room.
An unexpected hospitalization begins.
A physician, nurse, friend, or family member delivers news you never expected to receive.
And suddenly, you're expected to understand what's happening, communicate with healthcare professionals, coordinate updates, and prepare for important decisions—all while coping with fear, uncertainty, and information overload.
After the Call™ was created to help families navigate those critical first hours with greater confidence and clarity.
Created by registered nurse and healthcare navigator Laurel Fuqua, RN, MSN, this practical two-page Playbook provides a simple framework for understanding what to do, what to ask, and what comes next when a medical crisis occurs.
