Dar de alta: to medically discharge someone from hospital/a medical facility.

Dar de baja: to discharge someone from military duty.

Por fin, cuando el doctor le dio de alta a Guillermo del hospital, su familia se celebraron.

Well done. I think it is interesting that the two use the opposites alta and baja. - gringojrf, Nov 8, 2012

Por último, cuando el doctor liberó Guillermo del hospital, se familia celebró. (Finally. when the doctor released Guillermo from the hospital, his family celebrated.)
