Hospitalist Services

A hospitalist is a specialized physician, physician assistant, or nurse practitioner who manages and coordinates your care while hospitalized. When you are admitted, your hospitalist works alongside your primary care physician to plan and oversee your treatment throughout your stay, aiming to achieve the best possible outcomes.

Your hospitalist team is readily available to you and your family to answer questions, address concerns, and discuss your treatment plan in detail. Hospitalists have the authority to order medical tests, suggest alternative treatments, and adjust your care as needed. These compassionate team members maintain continuous communication with your primary care doctor throughout your hospitalization and will ensure that your primary care physician is fully briefed upon discharge, including details about any new prescriptions, follow-up care recommendations, and ongoing treatment plans.
