What is a Hospitalist?
Du Quoin resident, Cary Bailey, recently joined Marshall Browning Hospital as a Nurse Practitioner/Hospitalist. Bailey is a graduate of the Acute Care Nurse Practitioner program at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee.
Hospitalist team members will:
- Closely monitor your condition
- Order tests and medications
- Bring in medical or surgical specialists as needed
- Keep your personal physician, as well as you and your family, well informed.
Our hospitalist team members assist you through a smooth and speedy recovery process by following up on tests and adjusting your treatment regimen throughout the day based on those test results.
