For Hospitals & Rehab Units
A Coverage Partner Built Around Your Hospital's Needs
Fadoul Medical works directly with inpatient rehabilitation hospital's across Georgia to provide trusted, consistent, dual-specialty physician coverage — partnered for great patient outcomes, ensure regulatory compliance, and create a culture of team work.
How We Work
The Partnership Model
Fadoul Medical operates as a contracted physician coverage partner — not a staffing agency, not a locum arrangement. We build ongoing relationships with the acute inpatient rehab hospital's we serve, becoming a consistent presence that your staff, therapists, and case managers can rely on.
Contracted coverage relationship
We work under a direct contract with your hospital, establishing clear expectations for coverage hours, rounding schedules, documentation standards, and communication protocols.
Consistent physician presence
Fadoul Medical provides a consistent physician — the same trusted partner your team sees every day, building continuity of care and a team approach.
Integrated with your care team
We work within your existing hospital physician processes — participating in Team Conferences, coordinating with clinical teams and leadership. We ensure alignment with documentation of your hospital's expectations for best patient outcomes.
Flexible coverage structure
Coverage arrangements are tailored to support your growth trajectory, census, and existing physician resources. We can provide full coverage or supplement existing medical staff.
