To continue bringing consistent care to patients in the hospital, Holy Cross Health in Fort Lauderdale has introduced an OB/GYN hospitalist program, the only hospital in Broward County to have a certified Ob Hospitalist team, partnering with Ob Hospitalist Group, the industry’s largest dedicated OB/GYN hospitalist provider.

As part of the program, board certified OB/GYN physicians are immediately available on-site 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to focus on providing consistent care, as well as emergent care to those arriving in labor and delivery. The mission is to elevate the standard of care by ensuring expectant mothers are evaluated and treated by a physician regardless of time of day, complication or circumstance.

The OB-GYN hospitalist program is staffed with an experienced team of board-certified obstetricians and gynecologists on-site at Holy Cross Health 24 hours a day, 7-days a week. The patient’s physician will make sure that the OB/GYN hospitalist on-site has all patient medical records.

In the event the patient’s physician is unavailable, an OB/GYN hospitalist has access to the patient’s medical records and will be there to care for her, address any evolving issues and provide the mother and baby with a safe delivery. The hospitalist team at Holy Cross is highly skilled in a variety of different delivery techniques and are required to maintain high levels of clinical performance and professional standards. They have additional training in neonatal resuscitation, advanced cardiac life support and OB emergency care and are also available for consultations in the hospital and for emergency care in the Emergency Department.
