Hospitalist Program

About our Hospitalist Program

Unless you've visited a hospital often, you may never have heard of a hospitalist. A hospitalist is a physician who is based solely in the hospital, providing medical oversight and support to you and your child while staying in constant communication with your family physician or pediatrician about your child's progress.  

Here at K. Hovnanian Children's Hospital we have a full-time Pediatric Hospitalist Program for any child requiring inpatient care. Any pediatrician, family physician, or emergency physician can call 24-hours-a-day to admit a child for inpatient care or to seek assistance.
