    What to bring to the meeting

    • Your child’s diagnosis, the hospital’s name, and what you need help with.

    What happens next

    • Confirm that patient consent to transmit the referral information is documented in the provider’s records.
    • Complete every required form section, including the medical reason for the visit and special requirements.
    • Submit the live Provider Referral Form.
    • Kathy’s House staff contacts the potential guest to determine eligibility and confirm availability or waitlist placement.

After your social worker sends it
