Hospital Medicine

Wing Memorial Hospital hospitalists - specialists in hospital medicine - work closely with a hospitalized patient and his/her personal physician to coordinate and provide care.

The hospitalist chooses medical tests or evaluations, interprets test results and works with the patient's physician to make essential decisions about the treatment plan. The hospitalist is also responsible for calling in other specialists for medical consults or to discuss further treatment options.

Because hospitalists are at Wing Memorial Hospital 24 hours a day, seven days a week, they are available to see patients and answer questions as needed.

In short, the hospitalists and the patient's personal physician work as a team to help the patient through a continuum of care that includes easy admission, a comfortable and compassionate hospital stay, and as timely a discharge as possible.
