Hyper Care Regional offers a ‘hospitalist' program for inpatient care. A hospitalist is a specialist in the field of internal medicine who cares only for hospitalized patients and works cooperatively with patient's family physicians. They do not have a medical practice outside of the hospital. This enables these a hospitalist physician to focus exclusively on inpatient care and be available to their patients 24/7.
We continue to recruit new physicians to enhance the service offerings that signal the growth envisioned for the communities we serve and a promise to provide excellence in healthcare to our families, friends and neighbors.
