Supporting Your Recovery: How Fishtown Medicine Helps During and After Hospitalization
Being hospitalized can feel disorienting — especially when you're dealing with a medical issue and disconnected from your usual care team. At Fishtown Medicine, we understand the challenges that come with being in the hospital, and we are here to support you every step of the way.
While we don't round in the hospital, we stay closely involved behind the scenes to ensure that your recovery is as smooth and successful as possible. Here's how we can help:
How We Help
With your permission, we can:
Communicate with your hospital team
Review progress and discharge notes, imaging, and labs
Help you understand what happened and what’s next
Adjust your medications and care plan based on new findings
Coordinate follow-up visits, outpatient testing, or specialist referrals
Communicate with your family, caregiver, or support system (if you'd like us to)
Complete a home visit after discharge (especially for stabilizing chronic illness) to ensure your space, meds, and recovery plan are safe and clear
Why This Matters
Hospital teams move fast — and they often change daily. Without continuity, important details can slip through the cracks. That’s where we come in.
We help connect the dots: reviewing what happened, filling in the gaps, and supporting a smooth transition from hospital to home. That includes:
What to Do Next

Our team at Fishtown Medicine is here to provide you with the care and support you need during and after your hospital stay.
