Pulse Heart Institute recently announced an affiliation with Summit Health of Oregon.
Pulse is partnering with Summit Health Oregon (SHO), the largest independent multispecialty, physician-led medical group in Central Oregon. This relationship begins with the launch of electrophysiology services through the Heart Rhythm COE in January 2022 and will evolve into further collaborative service line development between both teams. The team will practice out of Summit’s newly renovated cardiology clinic in Bend, Bend Surgery Center and St Charles Hospital.
Summit Health is a physician-led, patient-centric network committed to simplifying the complexities of health care. In Central Oregon, Summit Health offers a comprehensive care model with nearly 150 providers in primary care, urgent care, and over 30 medical specialty and services. The expansion of their cardiovascular service line will further integrate into Summit’s industry leading primary care patient-centered medical home and enhance Summit’s population health services, improving the quality of life for Central Oregonians and greatly reducing the utilization of high-cost tertiary care in the community.
Pulse is committed to putting the patient at the center of all that they do, and they are excited to collaborate with Summit Health to serve this new marketplace with such high quality and like-minded group as partners. Pulse welcomes Summit Health to the team as they further the reach of the Pulse mission: Together, give people their best life.
