Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center is proud to offer patients specialized care in the form of a Hospitalist. A Hospitalist is a physician whose main focus is the medical care of hospitalized patients.
Many patients are referred to Hospitalists by their primary care physicians (PCPs) for treatment. The role of a Hospitalist begins when a patient is admitted to the hospital and continues for the duration of their hospital stay.
Academic Inpatient Medical Services (AIMS)
