How long has the hospitalist program been in place and who are the patients you care for?

The program was started on July 1, 2007, in response to the closure of Tuolumne General Hospital. The initial goal was to care for patients who did not have a local Primary Care Provider. As the program grew, we were able to offer hospital coverage to Primary Care Provider s who wanted to devote their time and focus on their patients in the clinic setting.
