When you are hospitalized your primary care doctor will visit you and personally advocate for you to receive the highest quality of care.

If I hadn’t been advocating on their behalf, my mother-in-law would have been discharged to a nursing home unnecessarily and her sister would have been discharged before all of her medical problems were addressed. These events made me realize that by not being active in their care when they were hospitalized, I was letting down my patients when they needed me the most.

It’s time that primary care physician’s reclaim our proper place in the hospital system."
