You might notice

1. Write down the basics first - have the person’s full name ready, plus date of birth if you know it.
2. Be clear about your goal - start the call with what you’re trying to find out (status, records/paperwork, or an on-shift concern).
3. Share your connection - be ready to say who you are (family, friend, attorney) and why you’re calling.
4. Take notes as you go - record the name/title of who you spoke with and any next steps they give you.
5. Call back if you were transferred or disconnected - it’s common; use your notes to ask for the same office or person again.
