General Medicine at Pennsylvania Hospital
Pennsylvania Hospital internists provide personalized
care for adults throughout the life cycle, from
adolescent to geriatric patients. They often see
two or three generations of a family in the same
practice. Internists are skilled at handling urgent
medical problems, chronic diseases and preventive
health care. They emphasize age and gender in
specifying cancer screenings, appropriate immunizations
and evaluation of risk factors for heart disease
and stroke.
Internists work closely with specialty physicians,
incorporating their advice in developing and implementing
a care plan for people with more complex medical
problems. Internists at Pennsylvania Hospital
have access to medical and surgical specialists
who are experts in their fields at Pennsylvania
Hospital and the University of Pennsylvania Health
System.
Physicians with the Section on General Medicine
