Integrated Additional Revenue Centers
Beyond the ASC, our strategic partnership will establish a comprehensive ecosystem of revenue-generating centers to create a fully integrated patient care model and maximize profitability:
Clinic
Our dedicated cardiology clinic will serve as the primary patient intake and management hub, offering consultations, diagnostic evaluations, and pre/post-procedure care. This ensures a consistent pipeline of high-value patients for the ASC and other service lines.
Imaging
We will incorporate advanced cardiovascular imaging capabilities, including echocardiography, vascular ultrasound, and potentially CT angiography, to provide comprehensive diagnostic services in-house. This enhances patient convenience and captures additional revenue streams.
PET using Ammonia (NH3)
The integration of a state-of-the-art PET imaging facility utilizing Ammonia (NH3) will allow for highly accurate and specialized myocardial perfusion imaging. This cutting-edge technology offers superior diagnostic capabilities for complex cardiovascular conditions, attracting high-acuity cases and establishing a premium service offering.
Clinical Research
Leveraging our collective expertise and patient volume, we will establish a robust clinical research program. Participation in clinical trials for new cardiovascular devices and therapies not only generates direct revenue through research grants and patient enrollment fees but also enhances our reputation as a leading-edge facility, attracting top talent and innovative procedures.
