Hospital Medicine

Pediatric hospitalists in the  Division of Hospital Medicine care for ill children on the pediatric inpatient units at Diamond Children's, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We also care for well newborns while they are in the hospital and provide circumcision services throughout the city of Tucson.

In addition to providing hospital-based care for children, our pediatric hospitalists are actively involved in outreach programs. These include 24-hour-a-day phone consultative services to physicians and other providers throughout Arizona. We assist with programs designed to support physicians and other providers and patients throughout Southern Arizona by facilitating ready access to pediatric specialists, disseminating continuing education information, and providing clinic coverage for vacations or illness.
