Delivering the Best Hospital Care Possible

Our hospital-based physicians (HBP) are here to ensure patients served by State of Franklin Healthcare Associates receive superior, efficient care and have the best outcome possible if/when you are in hospital.

While you’re hospitalized, the HBP, your primary care physician and any other specialist involved will become part of your larger, on-site healthcare team, interacting regularly on your behalf. Hospital based physicians are trained to manage chronic illnesses and conditions; and, due to their constant presence in the hospital setting, can respond quickly to complications. Learn more

Hospital-based physicians are doctors or advanced practitioners, most often trained in internal or family medicine, who serve the rotating patient population in a hospital – instead of having a personal practice. They will partner with all other medical professionals at the hospital and also with any other physicians involved – such as your own SOFHA primary care doctor – to ensure you achieve the best possible outcome during your hospital stay.
