Hospitalists are Board Certified Internal Medicine Physicians who specialize in caring for patients admitted to the hospital. They are available 24 hours a dayto see patients requiring admission from the Emergency Department, the patient's home or another facility. Hospitalists do not have a practice outside of the hospital, and therefore are always available to see hospitalized patients and their family members.
Our program was established in 2004 and we are proud of our staff and their accomplishments.
