Why FCCI Joined CVL

FCCI viewed the CVL partnership as an opportunity to achieve two equally vital goals: continue to improve patient care and enhance cardiovascular medicine while gaining the resources to grow in a competitive environment. The practice partners were eager to work with like-minded professionals who share their values and strive toward a common mission.

“At a time of accelerated consolidation in healthcare, doctors have had to team up and scale to stay relevant. Having vetted many options, CVL was the clear choice for me and my practice. I love the selective nature, focusing only on the high-quality doctors. I chose to partner with people I have known and trusted for more than a decade.”
