Fort Memorial Hospitalist Program
Your primary care physician may have asked a Hospitalist to care for you throughout your stay at Fort Memorial Hospital. The Hospitalist and any other consulting specialists are in charge of all your medical care while you are an inpatient. Hospitalists treat patients who are hospitalized and usually in a more acute stage of their care. Hospitalists do not have a regular clinic practice; they are available twenty-four hours per day for inpatient care.
It is optional for Fort HealthCare primary care physicians to participate in the Hospitalist Program. Some primary care physicians have elected to continue caring for their hospitalized patients. They may consult with the Hospitalists at any time as this service is available to all physicians. Also, Hospitalists may be asked to consult on surgical patients when patients have other medical conditions that may require monitoring.
Persons admitted to the Fort Memorial Hospital without a regular primary care physician will be cared for by a Hospitalist. If needed, we can assist you in finding a regular physician upon your discharge.
