NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Dr. Stephanie Foo of Milton has joined North Adams Regional Hospital's hospitalist program.
Foo completed her residency in internal medicine at Coney Island Hospital in Brooklyn, N.Y., providing inpatient and outpatient care. She earned her medical degree from the Institute of Medicine in Yangon, Myanmar, where she was also an anatomy instructor.
As a hospitalist, Foo will see patients who are admitted to hospital's critical care unit and general medical/surgical unit on 3rd North.
Hospitalists are experts in inpatient internal medicine and concentrate on the care of adult patients, while keeping primary-care doctors involved in their patients' care. A hospitalist is a physician whose practice is dedicated entirely to the care of hospitalized patients. They work as a team to be available to patients 24 hours a day. The hospitalist program at NARH allows the area's primary-care physicians to focus on outpatient and prevention services.
NARH hospitalists are employed by Sound Physicians, a leading hospitalist organization. For more information on the program, visit www.nbhealth.org

Dr. Foo is awesome! She is very knowledgable, respectful to the staff, and she promptly addresses the concerns of the patients and their families. Welcome Dr. Foo!
So what happened to the former Hospitialist? Take the money and run, Dr. Woo it seems like that is all that is offered here at NARH. If I were you I would be embarassed to post any time at NARH on my resume.
