The acquisition enhances patient care and extends CLS Health’s geographical reach in the Houston area.

HOUSTON, September 13, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
CLS Health, formerly known as Clear Lake Specialties, has finalized the acquisition of Southeast Houston Cardiology, a leading cardiology practice. This move is part of CLS Health’s strategic expansion in the Houston metropolitan area and comes shortly after its recent merger with Clear Lake Cardiovascular Consultants. 

Strategic Alignment and Patient Care 

“The acquisition of Southeast Houston Cardiology allows us to offer specialized cardiac care to our growing patient base of over 80,000. It aligns perfectly with our strategic priorities of geographical expansion and providing comprehensive healthcare,” says Dr. Mohammad Baba, President of CLS Health. “In a market that is being invaded by outside venture capitalists and insurance companies, CLS Health allows our community’s doctors to preserve their independence and their ability to provide excellent healthcare.” 

“Partnering with CLS Health allows us to better serve the Houston community. It’s a positive step for both practices,” says Dr. David Hamer, Founder of Southeast Houston Cardiology.

Operational Excellence and Community Impact 

Immediate plans include utilizing CLS Health’s resources to improve operations, offer more in-house ancillary services, and connect patients to a larger network. “Both CLS Health and Southeast Houston Cardiology have a long-standing commitment to community healthcare,” said Dr. Dweik, Vice President. “With this acquisition, we’re putting specialized, compassionate cardiac care within easy reach of those who live and work in these rapidly growing communities.” 

Future Outlook and New Facilities 

This acquisition comes on the heels of CLS Health’s newest 100,000-square-foot planned addition to its main campus at 600 North Kobayashi Road, Webster, which will include a cardiac catheterization laboratory and an ambulatory surgery center. “The new facilities at our main campus and this acquisition are synergistic steps to provide comprehensive cardiac care across the Greater Houston area,” added Shahbaz Rabbani, Director of Operations, CLS Health. 

Leadership in Cardiology 

Combined with the prior merger with Clear Lake Cardiovascular Consultants, these strategic moves position CLS Health at the forefront of Houston’s cardiology footprint. “With more than 15 providers, Cardiology has become CLS Health’s second-largest service line, only behind primary care,” noted Shahbaz Rabbani, Director of Operations, CLS Health.

The complimentary assessment is hosted by Product Security Hub, a platform and workplace for medical device cybersecurity, built for medical device manufacturers. 

“One of the goals we had in developing the original Joint Security Plan (“JSP”) with the Healthcare and Public Health Sector Coordinating Council was to provide medical device manufacturers with information and tools to help them build and mature their product security programs to further protect patient safety. With the release of the 2^nd Annual Assessment, we are continuing to support that mission and help drive the industry forward in such a critical domain,” said Colin Morgan, Managing Director of Apraciti, LLC.   

Companies who take part in the survey will gain an understanding of their overall maturity rating, based on the JSP, as well as security domain ratings and details of how each question was answered. This will provide them the opportunity to assess their current position and determine areas for improvement.

“It’s common for Product Security leaders to be asked how their program compares to their peers in the industry, or what aspects of the program should be prioritized to continuously improve. Participating in this assessment is a great starting point to help begin to answer these important questions,” said Morgan.

The assessment can be found by navigating to the Product Security Hub Login Instructions page (https://productsecurityhub.com/product-security-hub-login-instructions/).
