Your Hospitalist Team

Welcome to Catawba Valley Health System from the Catawba Valley Hospitalists. It is our privilege to serve as your doctor during your visit to the hospital. Hospitalists are experts trained in internal medicine and specialize in in-hospital care. We are dedicated to delivering excellent hospital care 24 hours per day.

Your hospitalist will visit you every day during your stay. This visit may occur at any time between 7am and 5pm. If you have a specific need to plan a time for your visit, please ask your nurse to notify your hospitalist.

There is always a hospitalist available in the hospital. If you have an emergency after hours, you may be evaluated by another member of our hospitalist team. Depending on how long you are here, your care may be transitioned to another hospitalist. If there is a transition of care, your provider will notify you in advance.

During your stay, we will serve as your primary care provider. At discharge, we will communicate the details of your stay to your outpatient primary care physician. When you are ready for discharge, your care will be transitioned back to your primary care provider with recommendations for appropriate follow up appointments, and any additional testing or treatments you may require.
