Quick Tip
Organize Basic Family Support
Choose one family member as your main support person and give them hospital contact information. Divide ICU coverage into shifts and designate one person as the family information hub.
Have one medically knowledgeable family member serve as the point person for all information. Family members direct questions to them rather than bothering the patient or primary caregiver. This person can filter information, prevent unhelpful medical advice, and provide consistent updates.
