Oncology Hospital Medicine

Expert oncology hospitalists at Winship Cancer Institute coordinate with medical oncologists and inpatient care team members to manage cancer-related conditions, improve outcomes and enhance patient safety.

Collaborative Inpatient Cancer Care

At Winship Cancer Institute, we provide specialized care for patients facing acute complications of solid tumors, side effects from chemotherapy or immunotherapy, and those who need inpatient treatment with around-the-clock service.

Our oncology hospitalists, physicians who specialize in cancer-related medical conditions, work closely with your medical oncologist to guide your care. Because they are based in the hospital, they are well-positioned to coordinate tests and treatments while monitoring your daily progress. They partner with advanced practice providers, pharmacists, nurses and social workers, all focused on keeping you safe and delivering the best possible care. This teamwork helps improve outcomes, protect your safety and support a positive patient experience.

Oncology inpatient service is provided at two locations:

If your oncologist refers you to inpatient care, our hospitalists will be ready to support you and make your stay as comfortable as possible.
