Hospitalist Service
Personalized care for hospitalized patients
The OHSU Adventist Health Portland Hospitalist Service is a team of licensed, board-certified physicians who specialize in the treatment of hospitalized patients. Their experience and expertise in hospital medicine are pivotal to the timely, exceptional care provided to inpatients at Adventist Health Portland.
Hospitalist physicians are available for on-site care 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. This allows them to closely monitor patients, follow up on tests promptly and respond quickly if there is an emergency.
They also work together with specialists, primary care providers and other members of your patient care team to ensure comprehensive coverage and continuity of care. That is why more than 200 physicians from Adventist Health Medical Group and the surrounding community trust the care of their hospitalized patients to the OHSU AHP Hospitalist Service.
Established in 1995, the Hospitalist Service was one of the first hospital medicine programs in the state of Oregon. Today, the practice continues to grow. Our team of 23 hospitalists includes board-certified internists and family medicine physicians, all trained in advanced cardiac life support (ACLS).
Our hospitalists serve on a variety of hospital committees and frequently take an active role in developing initiatives to enhance the quality of hospital care. They are also committed to professional development and regularly attend regional and national conferences and continuing medical education programs.
