Austin, Texas-based St. David’s HealthCare has acquired Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgeons Feb. 15.
St. David’s HealthCare comprises nine hospitals, 190 care sites and more than 12,600 employees. It’s a partnership between Nashville, Tenn.-based HCA and two local nonprofits, the St. David’s Foundation and the Georgetown Health Foundation.
The acquisition brings the cardiothoracic and vascular physician group’s clinic operations under St. David’s, according to a Feb. 17 news release shared with Becker’s.
CTVS will maintain its name and operations, with its physicians, providers and 45 employees aligned under St. David’s.
“By integrating our teams more closely, we are building upon a strong foundation to elevate care and drive innovation for the communities we serve,” David Huffstutler, president and CEO of St. David’s HealthCare said in the release. “This acquisition marks an important next chapter in a decades-long relationship that has helped shape the standard of cardiovascular care in Central Texas.”
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.
