First Coast Heart & Vascular Center

What First Coast Heart & Vascular Center does

First Coast Heart & Vascular Center is a private, multi-site cardiovascular medicine practice headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida, operating nine clinic locations across Duval, Clay, St. Johns, and Flagler counties. Founded in 2013 and built around a group of fellowship-trained cardiologists, the practice delivers a comprehensive cardiovascular service line spanning clinical cardiology, interventional cardiology, cardiac electrophysiology (including WATCHMAN implant), cardiac and vascular imaging/diagnostics, cardiac rehabilitation, vascular specialties, and chronic-disease management through dedicated Heart Failure, Hypertension, and Anti-Coagulant clinics. Core technical infrastructure includes a free-standing Cardiac & Vascular Catheterization Laboratory with nationally accredited status, supported by multi-modality imaging (echocardiography, nuclear cardiology, cardiac MRI, cardiac PET, cardiac CT), and the practice performs both femoral and radial access catheterization. Clinical staff include at least 18 board-certified cardiovascular specialists trained at institutions such as Harvard, Cleveland Clinic, Johns Hopkins, Yale, and Brown, with credentials referenced through ACC, SCAI, HRS, and ABVM seals.

The practice operates a sales-led, referral-driven go-to-market, sourcing patients via primary care physician referrals, self-scheduling (phone and online request), and a regional network of hospital affiliations including Baptist Health, Memorial Hospital Jacksonville, Orange Park Medical Center, Flagler Hospital, St. Vincent's, and Brooks Rehabilitation. Revenue is generated through professional services billed across major commercial payers (Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, Humana, United, AvMed, AmBetter, Wellcare) and government payers (Medicare, Medicaid, Tricare); procedure-level pricing is not publicly disclosed. First Coast Heart & Vascular Center is a member practice of Cardiovascular Associates of America (CVAUSA), a national cardiovascular physician practice management organization that provides administrative, compliance (HIPAA/Privacy Officer infrastructure), and clinical research enablement. The practice maintains active participation in national clinical research trials and holds physician-level patents in cardiac devices and drug management systems, positioning it as an evidence-based, academically connected regional cardiology platform rather than a technology-led business.

Comparable in cardiovascular service breadth (clinical, interventional, EP, imaging) and Florida payor exposure, though primarily operating in Central Florida rather than the Jacksonville MSA.
• Orlando Health Heart & Vascular Institute: Comprehensive heart and vascular service line within Orlando Health operating across Central Florida. Comparable in integrated clinical, interventional, EP, imaging, and rehabilitation services, but in a different Florida geography.

Broad incumbents

• Cardiovascular Associates of America (CVAUSA): National cardiovascular physician practice management platform of which First Coast is a member. Direct strategic parent and aggregator of independent cardiology groups; comparable in service mix (clinical, interventional, EP, imaging, vascular) and payor exposure across member practices.
• Mayo Clinic Cardiovascular Medicine (Florida): Hospital-based cardiology service at Mayo Clinic Florida in Jacksonville. Comparable in advanced interventional and EP capabilities and competes for complex referrals in the same Northeast Florida market.

Others

• Brooks Rehabilitation Cardiology Services: Cardiac rehabilitation partner already affiliated with First Coast physicians. Comparable in cardiac rehab delivery and patient management, but operates as a complementary rehabilitation provider rather than a full cardiology competitor.

Direct peers

• Florida Heart Associates: Multi-physician cardiology practice in Southwest Florida offering general, interventional, and EP cardiology. Comparable in private-practice physician partnership model, full-stack cardiovascular services, and Florida-specific payor mix.
• Ascension St. Vincent's Heart & Vascular: Cardiology and vascular service line operated by Ascension St. Vincent's across Jacksonville, Clay County, and St. Johns County. Directly competes for interventional, EP, and imaging referrals in the same geography.
• Cardiovascular Institute of the South: Large independent cardiology group operating across the Gulf South with comprehensive clinical, interventional, EP, and vascular services. Comparable in multi-specialty cardiology service mix, payor model, and physician-partnership ownership.
