Schneck Medical Center - Inpatient Care

During your stay at Schneck, your care will be managed by a member of our highly-skilled hospitalist team. Hospitalists are physicians who specialize in the care of patients that require a hospital stay.

The Schneck hospitalist team is comprised of Board certified physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants who are experts in the care of hospitalized patients.

Our hospitalist team is available seven days a week, 24 hours a day, to provide patients ongoing and immediate care. They work as partners with your primary care physician to provide the highest quality of care.

Our hospitalist team will consult with your physician and maintain regular communication with him or her while you are in the hospital. In turn, your physician can provide the hospitalist team with valuable information about your medical history, medications, and any special needs.

Upon discharge, your primary care physician will resume responsibility for your medical care. The Schneck hospitalist team will communicate with your physician to help ensure a smooth transition. If you do not have a primary care physician, the hospitalist team will refer you to a qualified physician who will care for you after you leave the hospital.
