Three new hospitalists join Blessing Hospital staff

QUINCY — Three new hospitalists — a physician or nurse practitioner who takes care of only admitted hospital patients — recently joined the Blessing Hospital staff.

Eric Gladstone is certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine. He earned his medical degree from the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine and completed his residency at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York. Dr. Gladstone is a “nocturnist”, a hospital-based doctor who chooses to work nights.

“My parents were strict with bedtime, so naturally I decided to only work nights,” he said in a press release.

Dr. Anshu Kataria earned his medical degree from Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine at Seton Hall University in New Jersey and completed an internal medicine residency at Hackensack Meridian Jersey Shore University Medical Center. His role model was his grandfather.

“He believed in the power of education,” Kataria said in a press release.

Kataria also holds a master’s degree in medical sciences and bachelor of arts degrees in cell biology/neuroscience and psychology.

Dr. Philippe Nyembo graduated in the top three percent of his medical school class from the University of Rwanda College of Medicine and Health Sciences. He completed an internal residency at Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis, Minn. One of his role models was the program director of his residency program.

“She taught me that you can be a human and an amazing doctor,” Dr. Nyembo said.

He also holds a master of science degree in clinical research from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities in Minneapolis.
