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.

CLS Health, formerly known as Clear Lake Specialties, is a leading multispecialty group practice founded with the mission to provide comprehensive and specialized medical care in the Greater Houston area. Our team comprises over 160+ physicians and allied health professionals who practice across 23 locations, offering medical services in 30+ specialties. For more information, visit cls.health.

Conservative care private practice owners can leverage Breakthrough’s exclusive marketing campaigns to promote Enovis™ Corporation’s innovative therapeutic technologies directly to patients.

LOS ANGELES, September 11, 2023 (Newswire.com)
–
Breakthrough, a leader in conservative care marketing solutions, together with Enovis™ Corporation, a pioneer in innovative rehabilitation technologies and parent company to Chattanooga^Ⓡ & LightForce^Ⓡ is excited to announce their official partnership. 

Enovis™ offers clinically differentiated rehabilitation technologies that help to enhance patient outcomes; Breakthrough offers data-driven healthcare marketing solutions. Breakthrough’s Patient Demand marketing software now offers multiple options for turnkey, data-driven campaigns designed to promote Chattanooga® & LightForce® technology directly to patients.

Through this new partnership, conservative care practice owners can reach more patients and overcome declining reimbursements by promoting high-tech, cash-based services directly to patients.

Stronger revenue potential will allow clinics to confidently adopt innovative therapeutic technologies, helping to improve quality of care nationwide.

“We understand the concerns private practice owners face in today’s market,” said Carl Mattiola, CEO of Breakthrough. “Our goal is to help practices educate patients directly so they can make informed decisions about their health; our software makes that marketing work as streamlined as possible for busy clinicians. We’re thrilled to add exclusive Enovis™ campaigns to our library of marketing solutions. This will help an immense number of patients gain access to therapies they wouldn’t experience otherwise.”

“As a leading medical technology company, Enovis™ is focused on developing innovative solutions that generate better patient outcomes. Part of our mission is to help healthcare professionals thrive, and we are thrilled about what this partnership with Breakthrough means for our customers and their businesses,” said Guy Guglielmino, President of Enovis™ Recovery Sciences.

Enovis™ and Breakthrough developed this exclusive partnership to support private practice and clinic owners in conservative healthcare, enhance patient engagement, and drive the adoption of innovative, clinically differentiated therapeutic technologies.

“Combining innovative cash-based services with tailored marketing campaigns is a win-win: private practices can help improve patient outcomes, and this partnership gives clinics the tools they need to thrive despite current economic challenges,” said Chad Madden, Co-Founder of Breakthrough. 

Many insurance companies do not reimburse for treatments made possible by modern medical technologies, such as laser therapy. Patients are often unaware of these affordable self-pay rehabilitative options.

Through education-focused marketing campaigns, private practice clinicians can promote cash-pay therapeutic services and increase their profit margins despite declining reimbursements.

Private practice owners and conservative care clinicians could experience strong revenue growth when investing in LightForce^Ⓡ Laser Therapy, Radial Pressure Wave Therapy, and Traction Therapy from Chattanooga^Ⓡ, as well as other therapeutic modalities from Enovis™ Corporation. 

“Breakthrough’s system is really helpful for getting patients in the door & getting the word out about our LightForce^Ⓡ Laser cash services,” says Tony Cere, owner of Kinetix PT in Gainesville, FL. “To make a big investment like that, you’ve got to know you can bring in the income. With Breakthrough, we didn’t have to worry.”

Clinicians will be better able to engage potential patients directly, drive awareness of affordable cash-based treatment options, secure better profit margins, and help positively impact patient outcomes.
