Hospitalist Medicine at St. Mary High Desert Medical Group

In the past, patients would wait for their primary care physician to visit once each day, either before or after office hours. Because our St. Mary High Desert Medical Group hospitalists are onsite or immediately available 24/7, they round on patients as often as needed and are available to respond to changes in a patient's condition. While a hospitalist takes the lead when you are admitted to the hospital, it is a team effort with your personal physician remaining informed and involved.
