Based in the Medical/Surgical Unit, hospitalists consult in the Operating Room and with Emergency Services. Since they are at the hospital 24/7, hospitalists are more accessible to nurses and patients and can provide flexible meeting time with patients’ families.

Our hospitalists perform the following services:

• Care for patients with medical problems such as pneumonia, heart disease, and diabetes
• Partner with surgeons to provide optimal care for patients undergoing surgery
• Collaborate with patients’ primary care providers
• Work with patients and families to make informed decisions about treatment options
