About

Hospitalists are physicians who specialize exclusively in caring for patients in the hospital. If your primary care physician determines that you need to be hospitalized, he or she may choose to admit you to the hospital under the care of Salina Regional Health Center's hospitalist staff. Hospitalists receive information about your medical history from your primary care physician and work with your doctor to provide a plan of care during the hospital stay. Hospitalists may in turn consult a wide array of other specialty physicians ranging from surgeons, cardiologists and neurologist to radiologists and many other specialists available locally. Hospitalist work to coordinate the entire range of patient care during your hospital stay.
