Hospitalists

Your personal doctor may have joined with Beaufort County Hospital and other physicians in the area to offer the hospitalist program. Your personal doctor is not always at the hospital. Therefore, your care may be managed by one of our hospital doctors who are specially trained in hospital care. The hospitalist program works with your personal doctor to make sure your medical needs are met during your stay. If you do not have a personal doctor, we can help arrange for follow-up care when you leave the hospital. The hospitalist physician will monitor your condition, consult with your personal doctor, and provide medical care when you need it. You will have more efficient medical attention – and faster pain relief. Because hospitalist physicians are on-site to review lab results, you may even get to go home earlier.
