Benefits of the hospitalist program include shorter hospital stays, increased patient satisfaction, and better communication with providers.
(Patients admitted for any behavioral health or obstetrical concerns will continue to be seen by a specialist.)

The hospitalist program also benefits patients who are not hospitalized. They can have piece of mind knowing their doctor is able to devote more time to their office visit without being pulled away for a hospitalized patient.
