New Ob/Gyn Hospitalists a First for Region

Ellis Medicine launched a new Ob/Gyn Hospitalist program in July. A team of experienced, board certified obstetricians/gynecologists is on-site 24/7 at Bellevue Woman's Center to deliver babies if a patient's own physician can't be present or to handle any emergencies that may arise. The new Ob/Gyn Hospitalist program is a first for the Capital Region, and enhance patient safety and provides peace of mind for expectant moms.
