Heart & Vascular Partners LLC (HVP) is pleased to announce a transformational partnership with the physicians and teammates of Colorado Springs Cardiology (CSC), a leading independent cardiovascular practice based in Colorado Springs, CO. HVP is a national managed services organization dedicated to supporting the independent practice of cardiovascular care. Through the new partnership, HVP will support CSC in standing up newly-independent operations, facilities, and staff with scalable business operations while investing to grow through expansion of services offered and increased access to outpatient modalities. CSC will continue to partner with and serve Centura hospitals in Colorado Springs and a variety of outreach clinics in southern Colorado.
CSC has been the established leader in cardiovascular care in Colorado Springs for nearly 50 years. Serving its community and provider partners with general, interventional, electrophysiological, and vascular care, CSC continues to serve as a preferred partner at Centura while providing increased access to outpatient services through its new facilities.
“This is an important step in our growth and evolution as an independent practice,” shared CSC’s Managing Partner, Dr. Chris Kim. “We are confident in the ability to realize the growth opportunities for our partners with HVP supporting us” added Dr. Peter Kriekard, CSC Managing Partner. “Our team has been working diligently and in collaboration with HVP to prepare and execute on our transformation.”
“This partnership with CSC will provide a strong platform for investing in more access and outpatient modalities in Colorado,” said Peter Burd, COO of HVP. “While providing valued infrastructure and support services, we are even more excited to add new specialists, service lines, and facilities to the CSC practice.”
“We built HVP to serve partners like CSC,” shared HVP CEO Bill Drehkoff. “Supporting the independent practice of cardiovascular care – from managing payroll to hiring and supporting staff to building and managing outpatient ancillary service lines – is especially impactful for physicians emerging from years of employment or comprehensive health system contracts.”
Colorado Springs Cardiology provides comprehensive care to patients dealing with cardiac disease through six locations in southern Colorado. CSC’s services include but are not limited to clinical and interventional cardiology, electrophysiology, structural heart treatment and broad spectrum of diagnostic procedures.
