The Hospitalist Medicine Program at Newton Memorial Hospital is comprised of a team of physicians who provide round-the-clock specialized care to hospitalized patients. A Hospitalist is a physician trained in internal medicine or family medicine who specializes in caring for hospitalized patients. Hospitalist Program physicians focus exclusively on the care of patients admitted to Newton Memorial Hospital. As such, these physicians do not maintain private practices or office hours.

At Newton Memorial, hospitalized patients are referred by their primary care physicians and specialists to the Hospitalist program for care. In addition, the Hospitalists care for any hospitalized patients who do not have a primary care physician. The Hospitalists at Newton Memorial Hospital provide 24-hour-7-days-a-week service.
