As a subspecialty of internal medicine, hospital medicine focuses exclusively on caring for hospitalized patients, with hospitalists available in-house 24/7 to address needs promptly and effectively.
Our teams manage both teaching and nonteaching medical services at Parkland Memorial Hospital, William P. Clements Jr. University Hospital, Texas Health Frisco, and the Dallas VA Medical Center, while also providing medical consultatons and perioperative care.
Throughout each hospital stay, our hospitalists coodinate seamlessly with primary care providers and specialists, ensuring patients remain comfortable, informed, and supported through clear communication about conditions, treatment options, progress, and recovery.
