His wealth of knowledge will contribute to HVP’s ongoing efforts to optimize practice performance and enhance patient care.
Clariza Silva joins HVP as the Director of Marketing. With her expertise in local and digital marketing strategies, as well as her experience in cardiology-focused platforms, Clariza will play a crucial role in promoting HVP’s partner practices and driving patient engagement. Her skills in website and social media design, coupled with her proficiency in marketing campaigns, will help elevate HVP’s marketing efforts to new heights.
“We are thrilled to welcome Trey Domann, Norman Dickey, Clariza Silva, and our other exceptional team members who have joined us in recent weeks,” said Bill Drehkoff, CEO of Heart and Vascular Partners. “Their contributions further strengthen our team and reinforce our commitment to our partner practices. With their expertise, we are well-positioned to shape the future of cardiovascular care.”
HVP is currently in an active hiring and onboarding phase, with plans for continued growth throughout 2023. The company acknowledges the diligent efforts of Denise Baker, VP of Human Resources, Stephanie Saldivar, Talent Acquisition Specialist, and the hiring managers, notably VP RCM Erin Petrie, for their unwavering commitment to supporting HVP’s expansion.
In addition to assembling an exceptional team, HVP places great importance on cultivating a positive company culture. The feedback received from practice partners and employees highlights the strong alignment with HVP’s values. The company is dedicated to building a supportive environment that fosters collaboration and empowers its team members to achieve their best.
Recent Development Efforts and Expansion
HVP is excited to announce the successful closures of two significant developments. Dallas Heart & Vascular, the company’s first location in Southern Dallas, officially closed on May 5. This strategic expansion marks HVP’s entry into the Dallas market, with plans for further geographical expansion and the addition of more physicians and service lines. HVP’s CFO, Matt Middendorf, and the new VP of Operations, Robert Davis, based in Dallas, have played pivotal roles in integrating Dallas Heart & Vascular Consultants into the HVP network.
Another milestone achievement is the closure of Colorado Springs Cardiology on May 16. This acquisition adds 20 physicians and further strengthens HVP’s presence in the Colorado Springs area. The successful integration of this leading cardiology care provider into the HVP network will unlock the potential for independent cardiovascular care and drive improvements in access, quality, efficiency, and economics. HVP recognizes the outstanding efforts of COO Peter Burd and Tiffani Mauro for their instrumental roles in facilitating a seamless transition.
Continued Growth and Expansion
HVP remains committed to expanding its presence in prioritized markets and forging strategic partnerships. The company has letters of intent in place to invest in select practices in both Texas and Colorado, which will bolster its existing teams and enhance its market presence. Additionally, HVP’s focus on new markets is guided by a thorough evaluation process under the leadership of Trey Domann. The company seeks partnerships in markets where it can collaborate with clear leaders in the cardiovascular space, benefit from favorable policies and regulations, and tap into the potential for long-term migration to value-based care.
Momentum and Organizational Updates
HVP and its partner practices experienced a successful first quarter of 2023. The company’s prioritized initiatives, tailored to each practice’s specific needs, have shown promising progress and are on track to achieve their objectives. The positive impact is evident not only in the financial results but also in the growth of new patients, the recruitment of top talent, and the operational efficiencies gained through HVP’s human resources, revenue cycle management, and financial/accounting teams.
HVP continues to strike a balance between controlled expenses, team growth, and practice performance. The company is performing at or above budget expectations in most categories, positioning itself to accommodate the projected growth in the second half of the year. With its ongoing commitment to providing immediate and tangible benefits to partner practices, HVP is well-positioned to achieve its objectives and make a lasting impact in the cardiovascular care landscape.
