Physician Assistants

Since 1989, HSS Physician Assistants (PA's) have been providing all aspects of patient care.

The 66 PA's (both hospital and private PA's) have comprehensive responsibilities: performing history and physical exams, ordering and reviewing lab tests, assisting in surgery, writing prescriptions, and providing patient education.

HSS PA's work closely with their supervising Physicians, as well as other members of the Interdisciplinary Health Care Team to provide both efficient and high quality patient care.
