Our hospitalist group is made up of board-certified physicians and physician assistants with extensive experience in managing acute illnesses and complex medical conditions. They are trained in internal medicine and will be your attending provider during your hospital stay, providing consistent care and communication to ensure a seamless transition all the way through admission to discharge. While you are hospitalized at Barrett Hospital & HealthCare, the hospitalist will visit you in your room each day to check on your condition and answer any questions you have. He or she will be your main point of contact throughout your recovery journey and will coordinate a treatment plan tailored to your needs in partnership with other members of your care team, such as nurses, therapists, surgeons, and others. When you are ready to leave the hospital, the hospitalist will communicate with your primary care physician to provide an overview of your stay and instructions for further care. If you do not have a primary care provider, the hospitalist will help you arrange follow-up care.
