Jacksonville Clinic & First Coast Cardiovascular Institute

What Jacksonville Clinic & First Coast Cardiovascular Institute does

First Coast Cardiovascular Institute (FCCI) is a physician-led, hospital-independent cardiovascular practice founded in 2002 in Jacksonville, Florida, operating across eight office locations in Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia (Duval, Clay, St. Johns, Putnam, Nassau, Ware counties). The practice delivers a full-spectrum cardiovascular service line — interventional cardiology, electrophysiology, endovascular medicine, nuclear cardiology, echocardiography, non-invasive vascular testing, structural heart procedures (TAVR, Watchman, Mitraclip), and amputation prevention — augmented by Pulmonology, Sleep Medicine, the Vein Clinic, Hemodialysis Access Management, Women's Health, and a Research Clinic. Core technical infrastructure comprises two AAAHC-accredited freestanding outpatient catheterization laboratories (Jacksonville, 2007; Palatka, 2016), an IAC-accredited non-invasive vascular lab, the healow patient portal, TeleVisit telemedicine, and one of the most robust Endovascular Fellowship programs in the Southeastern United States. Operational scale includes approximately 2,500 cardiovascular interventional procedures performed annually, over 3,000 stress tests annually, and a 30+ provider team.

Revenue is generated primarily through fee-for-service patient care reimbursed by Medicare, Medicaid (FL & GA), and a broad roster of commercial insurers (Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, Humana, UHC, Tricare, Wellcare, AARP). Secondary streams include custom-priced Corporate Screenings & Occupational Medicine contracts for employer clients and clinical research revenue from pre-market stent and drug trials with Abbott, Cook Medical/Medtronic, and Janssen/Bayer. Patient acquisition operates as a hybrid B2B2C model anchored by physician referrals (supported by a dedicated new patient coordinator and same-day urgent appointments), complemented by consumer-facing channels including an active blog, the biannual Heart of Jacksonville magazine (15,000 copies to 800+ locations), community outreach, and 24/7 hospital coverage contracts at four HCA Florida facilities (Memorial Jacksonville, Orange Park, Putnam, Memorial Satilla). FCCI is a private LLC with no disclosed parent company, no external funding rounds, and no identified private equity or institutional ownership.

Comparable in scale, multispecialty coverage, and freestanding ambulatory cath lab operations.
• Nebraska Heart Institute: Independent, physician-led cardiovascular practice with multiple locations across Nebraska, offering interventional cardiology, electrophysiology, vascular surgery, and cardiac imaging.

Broad incumbents

• AdventHealth Cardiovascular Institute: Hospital-system affiliated cardiovascular service line operating across Florida and the Southeast with full cardiovascular subspecialty coverage including structural heart. Broader incumbent with overlapping service menu but operating as part of a multi-state health system rather than an independent practice.
• HCA Florida Healthcare: Large Florida hospital system where FCCI provides 24/7 cardiovascular coverage at four of its facilities. Comparable only as the broader incumbent ecosystem in which FCCI operates; competes for cardiovascular patient share through employed physician staffing.
• Mayo Clinic Cardiovascular Medicine: National destination cardiovascular program covering interventional, structural heart, EP, and advanced imaging at flagship and regional sites. Broad incumbent with full cardiovascular service line; competes indirectly for complex referrals and physician talent.
• Cleveland Clinic Heart, Vascular & Thoracic Institute: National destination cardiovascular program where FCCI's founding physician completed training. Broad incumbent with full cardiovascular subspecialty depth; relevant as talent-pipeline reference and indirect competitor for complex structural-heart cases.

Others
