Why Choose Us?
A hospitalist is physician whose primary professional focus is the general medical care of hospitalized patients. Hospital medicine is a specialty that focuses on the site of care (the hospital) rather than a specific disease or organ system.
Hospitalists coordinate and oversee the care of the hospitalized adult patient from the time they are admitted to the time they leave the hospital. They are on-site and available to respond quickly to changes in the patient's status and avail themselves to family. The hospitalist team is in constant communication with the patient's primary care physician; therefore, the transfer of care at admission and discharge is seamless. The development of the Hamot hospitalist group is another indication of Hamot's commitment to superior care both in and out of the hospital.
