Physicians in the Hospital Based Specialist group generally are scheduled 7 days at a time and change every Tuesday; therefore, you may encounter a new Hospitalist on Tuesday.

Your Hospitalist generally begins rounds at 8:30 AM. We welcome questions from family members and encourage you to choose a family spokesperson. Please let your Nurse know. The best time for your Hospitalist to speak with family members is usually in the early to mid-afternoon on weekdays until 6:00 PM, but exceptions can be made.

For medical emergencies during the nighttime, a qualified Nighttime Physician will be covering for the daytime Hospitalist. However, questions about specific issues regarding your care are best addressed by your daytime Hospitalist who is most familiar with your case.
