Copley Welcomes Hospitalist Robert Cochrane, MD |
Monday, July 25, 2011
For Immediate Release
Copley Hospital is pleased to welcome Dr. Robert Cochrane to the hospital’s medical staff. Dr. Cochrane joins Dr. Jennifer Peters in Copley’s Hospitalist program. He is board certified in Internal Medicine and brings nearly five years experience as a Hospitalist, coming most recently from Springfield Hospital in Vermont.
“We welcome Dr. Cochrane to Copley’s medical community,” states Copley Hospital President Mel Patashnick. “We feel Dr. Cochrane’s experience and bedside manners make him a wonderful addition to our community hospital.” Patashnick notes that this is not Dr. Cochrane’s first visit to Copley. Two years ago he served as a per diem Hospitalist helping Copley start the program.
A graduate of the University of Vermont College of Medicine, Dr. Cochrane completed his Residency Program in Internal Medicine at Fletcher Allen Health Care in 2006.
At Springfield Hospital, Dr. Cochrane was responsible for starting up the Hospitalist Program. In addition to caring for patients on the Medical Surgical and ICU units, he consulted with physicians in the Emergency Department. Prior to Springfield Hospital, Dr. Cochrane served as Medical Program Director at Northwestern Medical Center in St. Albans.
Copley’s Hospitalists are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to care for patients that are hospitalized. They are specialists in Internal Medicine and are skilled in the latest inpatient diagnostics and treatments. Hospitalists work closely with the patient’s primary care physician and coordinate care with nursing staff and other in-hospital care providers such as physical therapy, laboratory, dieticians and patient and family services. They are available to respond quickly to any changes in your medical condition, provide timely updates resulting medical tests, and meet with your family.
Patashnick explains that the program benefits more than our inpatients; it extends into the greater community as it enables primary care providers to spend more time in their clinics, increasing access to care for everyone.
Please join Copley Hospital in welcoming Dr. Cochrane to the Copley community.
