Samaritan Cardiology will be staffed by James Willis, MD, and physician assistant Kate Symenow, PA-C. Dr. Willis founded Cardiology Associates 38 years ago.
The new partnership will help with succession planning and physician recruitment as Dr. Willis gets closer to retirement.
“After considering many partners, Samaritan was selected as they are as committed to this community as I am. The transition has gone smoothly, and it is evident to me that they want this to be successful,” Dr. Willis told WWTI.
Under the partnership, Samaritan will now offer outpatient cardiology services. Echocardiograms will now be performed at the Samaritan Health and Wellness Plaza as part of its existing imaging and lab services.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
