Hospitalist Joins Licking Memorial Hospital

Licking Memorial Hospital is pleased to announce the addition of Hospitalist Gabrielle A. Farkas, D.O.  Dr. Farkas received her Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree at Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences in Kansas City, Missouri.  She completed an internship and internal medicine residency at Adena Regional Medical Center in Chillicothe.  

Hospitalists are internal medicine physicians who specialize in caring for acutely ill hospitalized patients.  The hospitalist also coordinates care with the patient’s primary care physician.  Studies have shown that patients cared for by hospitalists have better medical outcomes, including higher survival rates, lower costs and shorter hospital lengths of stay.


Licking Memorial Health Systems is the primary healthcare provider in Licking County.  The Health Systems includes Licking Memorial Hospital (a 12-time honoree of Truven Health Analytics’ national list of 100 Top Hospitals), Licking Memorial Health Professionals (an employer-based group of more than 100 providers), and Licking Memorial Health Foundation.  For more information, visit www.LMHealth.org.
