NEWBORN BABY
Before you leave the hospital, you will receive discharge papers and information on the first check-up, which is usually within 2-3 days of leaving the hospital.
Please note we require at least one parent to be a current patient of Citrus to register your newborn baby with one of our physicians. Click here to check availability for a new family doctor.
