Hospitalists: from 0 to 109,847 in 20 years
When the Hospitalist taxonomy code (208M00000X) was created in 2006, there were a few thousand providers self-identifying with it. Twenty years later it's the fastest-growing physician specialty in NPPES — concentrated in metros with academic medical centers (Houston, Philadelphia, NYC, Boston). Median NPI age in this cohort is just 8 years.
Sanford Health added 67 NPPES locations across the upper Midwest this quarter — visible as new secondary practice addresses on the same Type 2 NPI. Concentrated in Sioux Falls, Fargo, and Bismarck. For PE / M&A watchers, this is the largest single-quarter footprint expansion visible in 2026 NPPES data.
