Pediatric Hospitalists

Hospitalists do not have an office practice like a primary care doctor, so they can be available for hospitalized patients and families at all times. This combination of expertise and availability leads to higher quality care for children at Orlando Health Children's Arnold Palmer Hospital.

Why is my child being cared for by a pediatric hospitalist instead of his or her primary care doctor?

Primary care doctors sometimes can’t be available for a child’s immediate needs in the hospital. Pediatric hospitalists have expertise in treating children whose conditions are severe enough to require a hospital stay. For these reasons, primary care doctors allow hospitalists to care for their patients during hospitalization to best meet the needs of each child and family.

The primary care doctor receives a summary of the child’s hospital stay and is kept up-to-date on everything that happens. Parents may contact the primary care doctor at any time during their child’s hospitalization. After the child is discharged, parents should once again follow up with their child’s primary care doctor.
