Cardiovascular Associates of America welcomes Florida practice to its growing network
Cardiovascular Associates of America (CVAUSA), a private equity-backed cardiology practice management organization, has added Cardiovascular Institute of Central Florida (CVICFL) to its network of physician-led practices.
CVICFL, the eighth practice to join CVAUSA’s network, serves the Sunshine State from four different locations, including its headquarters in Ocala. Its team of 13 cardiologists is led by Siva Gummadi, MD, a veteran cardiologist who specializes in vascular medicine.
“In this ever-changing healthcare environment, we are excited to partner with Cardiovascular Associates of America and look to the future in cardiovascular care,” Gummadi said in a prepared statement. “We believe that this partnership will allow us to be innovative in providing value-based care with cutting-edge technology and elevate cardiovascular care provided in Central Florida."
“CVAUSA is extremely proud to be partnering with the outstanding physicians and staff at CVICFL,” added CVAUSA CEO Tim Attebery, DSc. “CVICFL is the premier, dominant cardiovascular group practice in Ocala. CVICFL and CVAUSA share a common goal of lowering the overall cost of cardiovascular care, while maintaining high levels of quality, safety, access, and patient experience. We see many opportunities for expanded services and growth in Ocala and Central Florida through our partnership with CVICFL.”
CVAUSA, which is based out of Celebration, Florida, works closely with its partner practices to provide additional resources, improve efficiency and anticipate changes in the evolving cardiology marketplace.
Attebery has decades of experience as a leader in cardiology, previously serving as the CEO of both the American College of Cardiology (ACC) and MedAxiom, an ACC company. He has been with CVAUSA since 2021, the year the organization was founded.
