What is a “Housepitalist”?
[Housepitalist]TM (N); [HOWZ]-[pit]-[al]-[ist]: Physicians or advanced practice providers who bring high-quality personalized healthcare in the home for people who have difficulty accessing care.
Housepitalists are simply doctors who come to your home to take care of your most complex health needs when you’re struggling to get to a regular doctors’ office visit. The same way a Hospitalist in the hospital works with a team to give you the best possible outcomes, our Housepitalists will work alongside your family doctor to provide the level of care you would expect from an in-office setting.
