Ob Hospitalist Group Continues Expansion; Opens Six New Programs in January, 2015

GREENVILLE, SC – Ob Hospitalist Group (OBHG) announced the opening of six new OB/GYN hospitalist programs in 2015. Just this month, OBHG has implemented programs for the following hospital partners:

• Swedish Covenant Hospital, Chicago IL
• Memorial Medical Center, Springfield, IL
• Atlanta Medical Center, Atlanta, GA
• Union Hospital, Terra Haute, IN
• El Camino Hospital Mountain View, Mountain View, CA
• El Camino Hospital Los Gatos, Los Gatos, CA

An OBHG hospitalist program provides highly-skilled, Board Certified OB/GYN physicians (hospitalists) on-site in a dedicated Obstetric Emergency Department (OBED) 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

This exponential growth represents the acknowledgement that OB/GYN hospitalist medicine is the new standard in women’s healthcare and is a testament to OBHG’s reputation for providing excellence. These programs also exemplify each hospital’s commitment to delivering the very best women’s healthcare in their communities.

While many obstetricians divide their time between the hospital and their private practice, OBHG hospitalists focus solely on providing care to patients in the labor and delivery unit, as well as those facing emergent situations. These physicians provide enhanced coverage and a critical safety net to private OB/GYNs and their patients.

Patients presenting to these six hospitals will be evaluated by emergent-care experienced OB/GYNs rather than the traditional nurse-led phone triage found in many hospitals. Patients will also have immediate access to the best surgical care possible if necessary. OB/GYN hospitalist programs give women and their families peace of mind during one of the most important moments of their lives; when minutes can make a difference between life and death.

“Opening six new Obstetrical Emergency Departments (OBEDs) across the country in less than a month is significant not just because it confirms our leadership in this emerging industry but more importantly because of the lives that will be saved.” Remarked Christopher D. Pott, OBHG Vice President of Strategic Initiatives. “We celebrate each new hospital partner because we know the value of our hospitalists being on-site 24/7 to help when they’re needed most. Our presence reduces delays in care and prevents many tragic outcomes in hospitals across the country every day. That is the true measure of our success.”
