Transforming Cardiovascular Care
Heart & Vascular Partners (HVP) is a management services organization supporting independently owned and operated cardiology and vascular practices across the U.S.
Founded by Physicians, for Physicians
The founding physicians of HVP pioneered successful models of independent cardiovascular care to combine clinical excellence with increased access to care through innovative outpatient models. Today, HVP brings the benefit of decades of experience in successfully scaled healthcare operations to its partners while maintaining a foundational commitment to clinical autonomy. The successful physicians within and across HVP’s network offer opportunities for providers to connect and grow their own practices and capabilities in their respective markets.
Mission: To support and grow the independent practice of high-quality, efficient cardiovascular care by serving the physicians who provide valuable access to those in need.
Values: How we realize our mission is as important as if we do, and we promote and reinforce the following attributes of our work:
• Intellectual Honesty: We are open to the best ideas, supported by data and debate, and commit to support decisions made with integrity and rooted in facts.
• Rigor: We recognize and embrace the reality that transforming care and creating value and quality in healthcare is hard work, and we commit to the discipline and resilience required to be successful for all stakeholders.
• Accountability: We are honest with ourselves and our teammates, and we celebrate and reinforce our progress while acknowledging and learning when we fail.
• Service: We show up every day to help others, whether they are patients, partners, or teammates; through individual sacrifice we can deliver more on our collective goals.
• Compassion: We care for our teammates and the patients and families we serve and recognize the powerful impact of respect and empathy.
