Built for independence. Backed by scale.
America's Premier Cardiology Affiliate Network
You've built something worth protecting. The Heart Network was built for practices like yours: physician-owned, clinically excellent, and ready for what's next. Get access to the infrastructure, contracts, and support to compete at the highest level on your own terms, with no acquisition or equity transfer.
The Landscape Is Changing. Your Independence Doesn’t Have To.
The pressure on independent cardiovascular practices in America has never been greater. Payer complexity, prior authorization burden, technology investment, and value-based care requirements are reshaping what it takes to run a thriving practice.
And yet the case for independence has never been stronger. Physician-owned practices deliver better patient relationships, faster decision-making, and a culture of care that large systems struggle to replicate. You know this, because you've built it.
Independence has always meant going it alone — until now.
How The Heart Network Works
Most cardiology partnerships come with a catch. The Heart Network is structured differently, built from the ground up for practices that want the benefits of a national platform without giving up what makes them great.
Why the Heart NetworkYou stay independent.
Your practice remains physician-owned. You keep your name, your culture, your clinical decision-making, and your patient relationships. Nothing about that changes. What changes is how much support you have behind you.
You join the network.
Membership in the The Heart Network Clinically Integrated Network connects your practice to established value-based care contracts with major U.S. payers, revenue you'd otherwise spend years and significant capital trying to access on your own.
You choose what you need.
Beyond CIN membership, The Heart Network offers a full menu of MSO services, including revenue cycle management, technology, recruiting, specialty service line development, patient programs, and more.
