Hospitalist Program

As part of our commitment to providing excellent inpatient medical care, our Hospitalist Program serves as an oversight resource to manage the overall care of our patients.

What is a Hospitalist?

Hospitalists are board-eligible/board-certified doctors whose primary focus is the general medical care of hospitalized patients.  They work full time inside the hospital to co-manage patient care with your primary care physician.  Our hospitalists work with your primary care physician (PCP), emergency department physicians, and any necessary specialists to provide a seamless transition, from admission to discharge to outpatient follow-up.

The Hospitalist Program at Washington Adventist Hospital is designed to provide faster and easier access to our hospital.  The hospitalist team is always accessible and on-site daily to visit patients periodically throughout the day and monitor their recovery.  An important benefit of our program is that our hospitalists are on hand to explain and respond in person and provide timely answers to all your questions.
