Hospitalist Program

At ACMH, we have a hospitalist program that operates 24/7. The term "hospitalist" refers to a physician who specializes in treating hospitalized patients. You may see a hospitalist at the request of your primary care physician. Please be assured that the hospitalists have access to your past medical history and other relevant information from your primary care physician. Upon discharge, all of your information regarding your stay, such as discharge instructions and changes in medications will be communicated to your primary care physician.
