Most Hospitalists have no office practice and are Internal Medicine trained, though some are Family Practice, Pediatrics or other specialties.

  As solely a hospital-based specialty, our Hospitalists are available to respond immediately to the needs of referring colleagues and their hospitalized patients.

  Getting the vaccine has several benefits. The most important one being that we can safely establish herd immunity, so the population at large can be protected from the virus if a threshold of vaccination is reached. It’s a tall order, as experts estimate that roughly 70% of people in the U.S. (200 million) need to be vaccinated to reach this level of protection for COVID-19 specifically. This is especially important for vulnerable, high-risk groups, like the elderly and immunocompromised. You have the power to make a difference. Every person who gets vaccinated brings us closer to getting our lives back to normal.
