  • Committed to approaching your patient’s bedside with compassion.

Because we cover hospital needs, you can attend to your office practice with fewer interruptions. We cover unassigned calls for you by taking those admissions through the emergency department. You can practice more efficiently and enjoy a better work-life balance with fewer night and weekend responsibilities.

Nurse answers phone

We are committed to communicating with you. Copies of the history and physician as well as the discharge summary will be faxed to your office. We will also call your office to notify you of a change in code status or any other critical event that occurs during a hospitalization. If there are particular decisions that affect your patients that you would like the opportunity to address, (e.g. plans for discharge with Hospice) we will work with you to accommodate your request.
