Newport News, Va.-based Riverside Health and Charlottesville, Va.-based UVA Health are expanding their partnership to include liver transplant services, according to a July 29 news release.
The collaboration builds on a 2023 effort to improve transplant access through UVA’s outreach clinic in Newport News. Patients in Hampton Roads and Eastern Virginia will now receive local pre- and post-transplant liver care, while surgeries and advanced follow-up will take place at UVA Health’s transplant center in Charlottesville.
Most liver care will continue at Williamsburg, Va.-based Riverside Gastroenterology Specialists, with UVA transplant navigators supporting patients throughout the process. The health systems also plan to expand clinical trials and medical education programs at Riverside locations.
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.
