Good Samaritan Hospital, in Suffern, NY, was looking to improve patient safety in their L&D, support their midwifery practice and alleviate the on-call burden for community obstetricians.
The facility partnered with OBHG to launch a new hospitalist program in 2017, and local midwifery and OB/GYN practices have been thriving ever since.
"We would never want to go back to not having a hospitalist program. We don’t have the infrastructure administratively to do this on our own,” said Dr. Patricia Pollio, director of OB/GYN at Good Samaritan.
