Hospitalist Internal Medicine

The Hospitalist Internal Medicine team at Yale-New Haven Hospital (YNHH) is an extension of primary care practices from surrounding communities. Similar to many medical centers across the country, we have established agreements with many community physicians, physician assistants and nurse practitioners to care for their patients when admitted to YNHH.

While you are a patient at YNHH, you will be cared for by a Hospitalist physician and a physician assistant or nurse practitioner. Hospitalists are doctors who specialize in providing care while you are in the hospital and are available 24 hours a day. Your Hospitalist team regularly discusses your care with your primary care provider while you are in the hospital and after you are discharged. After you leave the hospital, you will be seen by your primary care provider. If you do not have a primary care provider, we will refer you to one in the community for follow-up care.

Daytime Physicians

Daytime physicians coordinate a patient's care while he/she is in the hospital. They work together with outpatient providers, as well as with physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses and other health care professionals to provide hospital-level care.
