Your primary care physician has asked a group of physicians - Hospitalists - to care for you. Our Hospitalists take care of only hospitalized patients so they are always available to respond to any changes in your condition, order medical tests and answer questions from you and your family. By using our Hospitalist program, it enables your primary care physician to be available to you in the office, while the Hospitalist is always available to you at the hospital. The physicians in our Hospitalist program practice exclusively in the hospital, so it is easier for you and your family to communicate with the Hospitalists and for them to treat your illness.
