Inpatient Services
What is a Hospitalist?
A hospitalist is a physician who specializes in seeing and treating hospitalized patients.
In the same way that cardiologists specialize in the care of heart patients, hospitalists are physicians who specialize in the care of hospitalized patients. Many patients are being treated by this new kind of doctor – a doctor who isn’t their family doctor, but who is responsible for their medical care during a hospital stay. They work as partners with the patient’s primary and consulting specialty physician to provide patients with the highest standard of care during their hospital stay.
What is a Hospitalist Program?
If your primary care physician utilizes Hospitalist Services and you need to be admitted to the hospital, you will be admitted by one of our hospitalist providers. They will manage and direct your care while you are a patient in the hospital. Out providers work closely as a team, so you may see more than one of them during your stay. They will be happy to answer questions for you and your family regarding your plan of care.
Our hospitalist will keep your primary care physician informed of your progress while you are in the hospital.
Our services are hospital in-patient services only. We do not have out-patient appointments.
