Around-the-Clock Physician Assistants
An important feature of the Holy Cross Hospital
Bariatric Program is our dedicated team of physician assistants. Our physician
assistants work hand-in-hand with our bariatric surgeons and are in the
hospital and available to our patients 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
They help make each patient’s hospital stay as smooth and comfortable
as possible during and after surgery.
