What Is a Hospitalist?

This video helps patients understand the role of a hospital-based specialist—a hospitalist. At Henry Ford Allegiance Health hospitalists are board certified internal medicine physicians, pediatricians and nurse practitioners who specialize in Hospital Medicine. They provide care for exclusively for hospitalized patients rather than at a private practice and communicate with the patient’s primary doctor to ensure coordinated care.

At Henry Ford Allegiance Health, our patients and customers are the focus of everything we do. Our skilled and dedicated team strives to provide you and your family with the same level of safe, high-quality care we would want for our own families.
