Physicians

Your primary care physician, specialist physician, or a hospitalist will supervise your care while you are in the hospital.

Hospitalists

A hospitalist’s focus is to take care of patients when they are in the hospital. Hospitalists work in close consultation with the patient’s primary care physician and specialists. They manage a patient’s entire hospital experience, from admission until discharge.

Licensed Practitioners

Licensed practitioners, such as advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs) and physician assistants (PAs), work with physicians in providing your care. They may participate in daily rounds and perform procedures, and most are credentialed to enter information, notes and orders into your medical record.

Nurses

In each nursing unit, a registered nurse is responsible for supervising patient care and directing the nursing and support staff of the unit. Registered nurses are assisted by nursing assistants and nurse technicians. Nursing staff is available around the clock.

Dietitians

A registered dietitian will review your medical record and work with your healthcare team to develop a nutrition care plan for you. Registered dietitians also are available educate you while you are in the hospital about any diets you may need to follow after you are discharged. 

Rehabilitation Therapists 

Physical therapists and technicians, occupational therapists, speech pathologists, and audiologists will work with you, your family, and your medical team to help meet goals of recovery. Therapy may range from brief consultation to long-term intervention, based on the extent of your injuries or illness.

Technicians and Technologists 

Skilled health professionals perform and assist with laboratory, tests, and other procedures, including but not limited to X-rays, mammograms, respiratory treatments, ultrasound, CT scans, MRIs, cardiac catheterization, and radiation therapy, which help in diagnosing and treating your illness or injury.

Case Managers 

Case managers will review your medical record and discuss your discharge planning. They also are available to assist you with arrangement for home care, admission to a long-term care facility, or rehabilitation care.

Case managers also offer emotional support, counseling, and guidance to help patients and their families deal with financial, social, and emotional problems related to illness or hospitalization.

Pharmacists

While you are in the hospital, all of your medications are reviewed by our hospital pharmacists. They can answer any questions you have regarding your medications.

Volunteers

Volunteers give thousands of hours each year to our hospital to enhance the care of our patients and their families. They provide support throughout the hospital, including staffing the information desk, delivering mail and flowers, and escorting patients.
