Updates to Call

Beginning July 2026, call will now run from 6pm Friday to 6pm the following Friday (as opposed to our current Monday-Monday schedule). This will allow physicians a weekend of recovery time after a week of call.

Additionally, backup call physicians now only have to be available by phone. They no longer have to be in town the entire week of their backup call.
