The service provides comprehensive coverage for acute inpatient medicine beds and offers consultative and cross‑coverage support to medical patients admitted to other hospital units as needed.

Daytime coverage is approximately 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday to Friday, with a rotating evening weeknight call schedule. Two hospitalists provide coverage on weekends and statutory holidays, ensuring consistent and reliable patient care.
