NEW YORK (PRWEB)
October 11, 2022
atria health announced today that it has entered into a long-term partnership with leading independent physician practice AMS Cardiology (AMS) in Montgomery County, PA. This first-of-its-kind partnership expands upon atria’s efforts to empower community cardiologists to transform how care is delivered and paid for nationally.
“We are excited about the opportunity to partner with atria to improve access to comprehensive, integrated care for our patients,” said Adam Cohen, MD, Managing Partner of AMS Cardiology. “atria’s unique operating model allows our practice to remain truly independent while supporting us with the resources necessary to accelerate growth and clinical innovation in our market.”
“Legacy models for treating and paying for cardiac care have failed to innovate and put patients first,” said Scott Shapiro, MD, AMS cardiologist and Chief Strategy Officer at The Physicians Integrated Network (TPIN). “Partnering with atria reinforces our patient-centric and physician-driven philosophy and delivers the resources and expertise necessary to serve the individual needs of our patients through a sustainable, quality-focused approach.”
The company also announced the appointment of experienced industry executive Matt Eakins, MD to its Board of Directors.
Dr. Eakins serves as the Chief Innovation Officer of Unified Women’s Healthcare, a diversified women’s health company supporting over 2,500 providers across more than 900 locations. He leads the Diversified Business Group, which was created to find and grow strategic partnerships with payor organizations and other community-based healthcare providers seeking to improve quality and health outcomes for patients. Previously, Dr. Eakins was Chief Operating Officer for Unified and Senior Vice President of Operations. Prior to joining Unified, Dr. Eakins was a management consultant at McKinsey & Company, advising clients across the healthcare value chain.
“We are delighted to welcome Matt to our Board as an independent director,” said Dr. Cohen. “He has been instrumental in the formation of atria and brings a wealth of experience in healthcare innovation, most notably in building high performing provider organizations and pioneering the implementation of alternative payment models.”
