INDIANAPOLIS,
Ind. – Emmanuel Sarpong, MD, has joined Franciscan Physician Network Indiana Heart Physicians (IHP) as a hospitalist.
He is part of
the newly established Cardiovascular Hospitalist Program, which will team him with
interventional cardiologists to admit and consult on patients overnight.
Hospitalists specialize in the
care of patients in the hospital.
IHP created the hospitalist
program to make its cardiologists more available to Franciscan St. Francis Heart Center patients during day time hours. This approach
improves continuity of care for patients who have been admitted overnight.
Sarpong earned his medical
degree at the University of Ghana Medical School and is board-certified in
internal medicine.
He completed an internal
medicine residency at John Stroger Junior Hospital in Cook County, Ill., and prior to joining IHP, Dr. Sarpong was the program director
of the hospitalist program at Indiana University Morgan Hospital.
Sarpong is a Fellow in the
American College of Physicians and holds memberships in the Society of General
Internal Medicine and the American College of Physicians.
