Interpreters and Hearing Devices
Language interpretation services and TDD special-needs devices are available for our patients who require them. Please advise your nurse if you need the assistance of a language interpreter or a TDD special-needs device.
Hospitalist
During your hospital stay, you may be seen by a hospitalist physician who cares for patients in the hospital. Hospitalists work exclusively in the hospital and have no separate office practices. This means they focus all of their time and attention on meeting the needs of hospital patients and their families.
Hospitalists manage patients’ hospital care, coordinating and consulting with specialists, monitoring progress, and staying in close touch with primary care physicians to ensure that patients are carefully monitored and receive the best possible care.
