Hospital medicine is a specialty organized around the general medical care of hospitalized patients. Doctors whose professional focus is hospital medicine are called hospitalists.

While most physicians must divide their time between the care of outpatients and those who are hospitalized, The Hospitalist Group doctors work full time in the hospital, enabling them to provide the appropriate treatment at the time it is needed. They work in partnership and close communication with each patient’s primary care provider. Affiliated with Battle Creek Health System and Select Specialty Hospital, The Hospitalist Group consists of board certified physicians who provide inpatient care, often seeing patients in the emergency room, admitting them to inpatient wards, following them as necessary into the critical care unit, and organizing post-acute care.

Patients receiving inpatient care from The Hospitalist Group typically report higher satisfaction with the quality of their hospital experience, citing benefits that include less waiting time for admission and discharge, and more efficient handling of administrative matters. The Hospitalist Group participates in all major insurance plans as well as Medicare.

If you have a primary physician, we recommend you discuss with him or her the Hospitalist Group option. If you or someone in your care should become hospitalized, you may specify treatment by The Hospitalist Group. To learn more, you are invited to call or visit.
