Our mission is to provide comprehensive care to our patients across multiple phases of the healthcare system. Our hospitalist program provides compassionate inpatient care to all patients, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We identify patients with multiple chronic conditions who are in need of further support, and our providers will follow these patients closely in the outpatient setting, within the first 30 days of discharge. We follow up with these patients in a post-acute care clinic, and we also follow these patients as they transition to a skilled nursing facility.
Our team is comprised of multiple providers, including physicians, allied health professionals, case managers, pharmacists, and social workers. We utilize a coordinated, multi-disciplinary approach to identify potential gaps in transitions of care and chronic disease management. We carefully create specific, individually tailored plans for each patient, and collaborate with the patient’s family and other healthcare providers to ensure the plans are thorough but also easy to understand.
We emphasize robust collaboration with all members of the healthcare community and all stages of a patient’s care path. We utilize the full extent of healthcare technology to facilitate communication among a patient’s primary care physician, urgent care, emergency department, and specialists. We strive to ensure that all aspects of a patient’s care plan are connected, and transition seamlessly among each phase.

Apollo360 Hospital Medicine is the flagship service of Apollo360. Our hospitalist physicians provide continuous acute care coverage to hospitalized patients year-round. It focuses on clinical care, education and quality of care, and patient safety in the hospital environment.
We work closely with case managers, social workers, and other members of the hospital care coordination team to ensure high-quality care and patient safety and provide a smooth transition of care when patients are discharged from the hospital.
We have a strong focus on evidence-based, appropriate utilization of diagnostic tests and medical treatment and formulate a care plan that is specifically tailored to each individual patient’s needs.
Apollo360 Post-Acute Care Clinic focuses on close follow-up of patients recently discharged from the hospital. Our program identifies patients with multiple chronic conditions and those with very complex hospitalizations.
Our post-acute care team proactively reaches out to these patients and provides a physician follow-up office visit within one week of discharge. Our team of physicians, allied health professionals, RNs, case managers, and social workers will work together to ensure a smooth care transition. They will also review their hospital stay and post-discharge instructions to increase patient compliance. We also provide medication reconciliation. We ensure that patients and their caregivers are confident and comfortable with the care plan.
By offering the entire post-acute continuum of care, we help ease the transition between healthcare providers by better aligning our physicians, hospitals, and post-acute care settings according to the patient’s needs. This collaboration is designed to streamline the transfer of care and reduce hospital readmissions.
Post-acute SNF care plays a critical role in health care by providing services that help get patients back to good health. The main focus is to maximize the patient’s functional abilities as well as confidence in caring for themselves as independently as possible. Apollo360 works closely with skilled nursing facilities in the San Gabriel Valley area to ensure a smooth transition of care after a patient is discharged from the hospital. Our physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants regularly assess patients for skilled nursing needs while the patients are still hospitalized. We work closely with SNFs to ensure that all the medications and medical equipment are available for the patients when they arrive at the SNF. Our care team continues to see these patients at the SNF on a regular basis in order to ensure patients are receiving the treatments they need to improve their functional abilities with the ideal goal of transitioning these patients to a safe environment at home.
