Novocardia announces new partnership with Florida cardiology practice

Novocardia, a nationwide cardiovascular care delivery platform, has announced a new partnership with My Cardiologist, a cardiology practice in Florida founded back in 1960. 

My Cardiologist employs a team of 27 cardiologists who see patients in six different locations. 

"Novocardia's resources and expertise in value-based care will enable My Cardiologist to expand access to high-value and high-quality cardiovascular treatment across South Florida," Harry Aldrich, MD, president of My Cardiologist, said in a prepared statement. "Our practice strives for excellence in delivering patient-centered, state-of-the-art cardiovascular care, and our partnership with Novocardia will allow us to continue fulfilling that mission as the health care landscape transitions from fee-for-service to value-based care delivery models."

Novocardia works closely with its partner practices, providing them with the tools to expand, build stronger relationships with payers, innovate, improve outcomes and deliver high-quality care.

"We are thrilled to partner with My Cardiologist," said Daniel Blumenthal, MD, CEO of Novocardia, in the same statement. "My Cardiologist's talented physicians, dedicated clinical and administrative leadership, and commitment to evidence-based cardiovascular care make this great practice an ideal partner for us. Harry Aldrich and I see eye to eye on the future of healthcare, and cardiology in particular, as well as the importance of putting patients at the center of care."

My Cardiologist physicians cover a broad range of practice areas including general cardiology, electrophysiology, advanced heart failure, prevention and wellness, women's heart health, and interventional cardiology. They also treat structural heart disease and peripheral artery disease.
