Under the agreement, the medical group’s hospitalist services will support the hospital’s new contract with Los Angeles County + USC Healthcare Network and will also be responsible for developing a specialist call panel for patients associated with the contract. “We are very excited that ApolloMed has become Garfield Medical Center’s partner in providing inpatient hospital services to those most in need—patients transferred in from Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center,” said Philip A.
