Get to know Hospitalist Dr. Joel Gonzalez, who serves patients in Homestead, Florida.
New York City, Dec 8, 2020 (Issuewire.com) - Licensed to practice medicine in Florida, Dr. Gonzalez is an attending hospitalist physician at Homestead Hospital. It has been a part of the south Miami-Dade community since 1940, when local physician James Archer Smith opened it as a 10-bed hospital east of Krome Avenue.
Today, Homestead Hospital is a modern, full-service 147-bed facility with private rooms. Services include an Emergency Center with 44 treatment rooms and a trauma room, a separate Children's Emergency Center, a critical care unit, and comfortably-appointed birthing suites. Homestead Hospital is also home to the new Baptist Health Rehabilitation, a hospital-based, acute inpatient rehabilitation unit featuring individualized programs for the care of adult and pediatric patients (ages 4 and older) who are facing an acute or disabling injury or illness. Its mission is to remain committed to providing care to patients whose socioeconomic issues ultimately affect their overall health.
Before embarking on his professional career, Dr. Gonzalez graduated with his medical degree from Universidad de Ciencias Médicas de Santiago de Cuba in 1989. Upon relocating to the United States, he served his residency in internal medicine at Bronx-Lebanon Hospital Center in 2012.
Hospital medicine is a medical specialty that exists in some countries as a branch of internal or family medicine, dealing with the care of acutely ill hospitalized patients. Physicians whose primary professional focus is caring for hospitalized patients only while they are in the hospital are called hospitalists. They engage in clinical care, teaching, research and enhancing the performance of hospitals and healthcare systems.
On a more personal note, Dr. Gonzalez is fluent in both English and Spanish.
