How does the Necessities Bag help?
In the days leading up to surgery, women are apprehensive and vulnerable. Simple tasks cause anxious moments. If they knew the right questions to ask, they would feel more in control.

Surgeons and nurses understand how important it is to help their patients manage emotional distress and practical difficulties associated with recovery from major surgery. The information and supplies offered in the Necessities Bag prompts conversation, questions and answers.

The Necessities Bag was created by a woman whose own surgical experience gave her new perspective on how she should have prepared for her personal needs in the hospital and afterward at home.
