If you suspect you or your child may have been exposed to measles or have a fever, cough, runny nose, pink eye, and/or a rash, please call ahead to UI Health Care at 1-800-777-8442 prior to arriving at any health care facility.
Our hospitalist program at UI Heatlh Care Medical Center Downtown provides comprehensive, in-house patient care, 24/7.
The hospitalist program offers many benefits to patients and their families:
The hospitalist is never more than a few minutes away, especially helpful in case of an emergency. They can follow up on medical tests quickly and adjust treatment regimens throughout the day.
By overseeing the care of hospital patients, hospitalists help primary care doctors be more available to their patients in the office setting.
Hospitalists are available to answer patient and family questions in person during stressful and critical moments, and patients will see their regular doctor after hospitalization for continued care.
Hospitalists specialize in hospital inpatient medicine, either as attending doctors or as consultants to other specialists:
Your doctor may request the services of a hospitalist to care for you while you are in the hospital.
Although your doctor may entrust your care to a hospitalist, they remain available for consultation and is kept informed of your admission, discharge and any change in you during your hospital stay.
After discharge from the hospital, you will be seen by your regular doctor.
